The Global Economy Desperately Needs Freedom

by
How many bureaucrats are there in the world? The global population currently numbers more than 7.5 billion people. Out of that number it is estimated that the global labor force equals almost 3.5 billion, or a half a billion less than half of all the people on the planet. While it varies very greatly from one country to another, a rough estimate of how many government bureaucrats there are is around 15 percent of the global labor force, or around 525 million people, or about 7 percent of everyone living on the planet. Now, 525 million people is almost equal to everyone living in the United States, Germany, France, and Spain combined. This is the number of government employees in some way responsible for, supporting, or connected with setting, overseeing, and enforcing all of those laws, regulations, and redistributive policies determining how the remaining 6.9 billion people on this earth shall live and work.

Raining on the Latest Immigration Deal

by
Immigration control advocates are undoubtedly hoping that the new immigration deal that is being struck to avert another government “shutdown” will finally, once and for all, end the decades-long immigration crisis.

The fear that the “invaders” are coming to get us and bankrupt us with welfare will continue to grip people’s minds. In fact, even if President Trump were to succeed in getting his much-beloved Berlin Wall constructed on every square inch of the border (after stealing people’s property with eminent domain) — indeed, even if Trump’s Wall was as high as ...

“This is jackboots in the morning. This is an American nightmare that they would arrest somebody like this.”—Judge Andrew Napolitano The American Police State does not discriminate. Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out now—whether it’s in the name of national security or protecting America’s borders or making America great again—rest assured, these same practices can and will be used against you when the government decides to set its sights on you. We’ve been having this same debate about the perils of government overreach for the past 50-plus years, and still we don’t seem to learn, or if we learn, we learn too late. For too long now, the American people have allowed their personal prejudices and politics to cloud their judgment and render them incapable of seeing that the treatment being doled out by the government’s lethal enforcers has remained consistent, no matter the threat. All of the excessive, abusive tactics employed by the government today—warrantless surveillance, ...
