  1. If you have limited investigative resources, wouldn’t you investigate the
    crimes that net you the most forfeited property? Murder, rape, and theft?
    Nah, not so much. Drug crimes? Absolutely!

  3. Actually America was built on heavy protectionism, high tariffs, government
    support for fledgling manufacturing, a heavily regulated banking system and
    currency, low interest federal credit issued by the evil gubmint national
    bank, and massive federal investment in internal infrastructure
    improvements and federal funding for advanced scientific research and
    development. Woods is a fossil. Not one single Founding Father nor early
    American Entrepreneur advocated the policies exposed by the Austrian
    School. Google “American System Economics”. #Tarpley4FedHead 

  4. Have to tip my hat. Dr. Woods has an excellent way with flowing around and
    orating masterfully crafted speeches. No politician alive could do that on
    his own quite like he can.

    No wonder no one wants to debate him. They’d all cut off their ears and
    gouge their eyes just to escape the severely embarrassing, searing common
    sense and topical eloquence.

    It’s a thing of beauty.

  5. Sometime ago, I think that was in mid past year, I wrote in SurvivalDoc’s
    commentary section, that the U.S were becoming each day, more and more
    looking like a third world country, well, I’m Brazilian, and I know what a
    third world country look like, specially a Banana Republic style, and I was
    totally morally lynched by his followers, (and himself to a certain degree).
    Well, sometime after that the RT news aired a program with a economist that
    were talking exactly what I wrote in that channel (SurvivalDoc), and right
    now, Tom Woods is speaking (in his words) exactly about this; all what is
    turning US in a Police State, here in Brazil occurs since the 1960’s, when
    the US baked a Military Coup d’etat here, (as they did in most of South
    America…) that endured almost 30 years, and even today, as a very bad
    souvenir of this era, we do have Military Police.

  6. “In our deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions onto 7th
    generation.” Understand that on earth ,mankind can only create the welfare
    state governed by the police state paid for by taxpayers. When the evils of
    tyranny are used to force the good intentions , the evil will triumph over
    the good intention
