GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITIES NOW THREATEN TO PUNISH FACULTY WHO TELL STUDENTS TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINTS
There is no valid reason for taxpayers to own universities. Every argument that is commonly given for government colleges is provably false. Modern government universities (1) are less free than their surrounding environments, (2) are more expensive than most alternatives, and (3) promote a steady one-sided stream of elitism, central planning, and government control over …

Venezuelan government “bans” bread lines and arrests bakers in response to bread lines
Socialism is a curse that should be wished only on an enemy. Just 20 years ago, Venezuelans were the wealthiest people in Latin America. Then they voted for socialism. Today, Venezuelans starve in the streets, eat out of dumpsters and die in knife fights in the streets while fighting over dollar bills. Now, facing a …

The majority of government-funded scientific research cannot be replicated
In May of 2016, a survey by Nature revealed that over two thirds of researchers surveyed had tried and failed to reproduce the results of another scientist’s study. In the field of cancer biology, merely 10% of results from published literature were found to be reproducible. Government funding of university “science” produces published “studies” which …

But by enlisting (and paying) Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” to conduct secret surveillance on unsuspecting customers, the FBI has sought to evade the constraints …

Electric car sales in China collapse after government subsidies cease
Government-trusters everywhere seek to centrally plan the energy industry. Just as in the U.S., the government of China has been promoting “alternative energy” schemes for years. In the U.S, government-loving shysters like Elon Musk have bilked taxpayers out of at least $450 million while promoting electric-car pipe dreams. Similarly, in China the government has been …

Americans renouncing U.S. citizenship in record numbers due to taxes, overregulation
The United States was once the world’s flagship of freedom and capitalism. It produced more great inventions than any society that ever existed. But in recent years, America has become more government-controlled, taxed, and overregulated. During the past year, more Americans fled the U.S. and renounced U.S. citizenship than ever before. Almost all who fled …

Computers are now better at diagnosing cancer than government’s slave plantation healthcare workers
All of the diabolic schemes of the state cannot suppress the human spirit forever. Now that health care is the most overregulated industry in the U.S., computer software is quickly making government-licensed doctors obsolete. There is now computer software which can diagnose cancer faster and more accurately than human, government-licensed, physicians. “At 8 false positives …

57 % of Americans can’t write a $500 check
Years of government impositions which punish savers and entrepreneurs have taken their toll on Americans. Social Security, Medicare, and other programs disincentivize people from saving and investing. Near-zero interest rates incentivize debt. Government licensing laws prevent the poor from entering rewarding careers. Minimum-wage laws prevent employers from offering entry-level positions to people needing jobs and …
