President's
Corner |
Dear
friends,
Starting
this issue, I'll be writing a new feature in the Liberator Online.
It's called "One-Minute Liberty Tip." And just like the
title implies, each column will highlight one short, easy-to-grasp
tip that you can use to enhance your libertarian outreach.
Promoting successful libertarian communication is central to the
Advocates. It's the major reason this organization was founded two
decades ago -- to help libertarians become ever more effective at
convincing others to understand and embrace the freedom philosophy.
Successful and persuasive communication wins us friends and allies.
Poor, offensive, and incompetent communication chases people off
-- and has made us enemies.
Anyone can become a better libertarian communicator. In fact, it's
not hard at all. The Advocates can help anyone do that, as we've
helped so many thousands of libertarians. It's why we offer so many
acclaimed tapes, CDs, DVDs, and other tools on the subject.
Check out the "One-Minute Liberty Tip." I hope you'll
enjoy it -- and I hope each tip will help you in your efforts to
take the message of liberty to the world.

Good News,

By
James W. Harris
Voters:
Government Wastes More Than Half of Tax Dollars
xxx
A
startling new survey has found that voters of all ages and political
parties believe the federal government wastes at least half of every
tax dollar it spends. The average figure cited is 53%. Women say
that 59 cents of every dollar are wasted; men say on average 47
cents.
That's based on a national survey of 800 registered voters, as reported
in an op-ed by Gary J. Andres in the Washington Times.
"The depth of voter concern and cynicism about spending and
waste are the political equivalent of a black hole," Andres
wrote. "Apprehension about wasteful government spending persists
like a chronic illness afflicting the body politic."
Of course, this is not an indicator of how much government actually
does waste. That figure may well be far higher. But it shows a truly
huge and widespread distrust of government spending and, indeed,
of the federal government itself.
The poll also explored another topic: Are voters more concerned
about how much the government spends, or are they more
interested in reforming how taxes are collected (like,
say, replacing the income tax with a national sales tax or flat
tax)?
According to the survey: "By an overwhelming 85 percent to
12 percent margin, spending trumps collection. This suggests
that political leaders emphasizing controlling government spending
and reducing waste would find more support than those advocating
alternative forms of revenue collection."
With that in mind, how about this for a sample soundbite for libertarian
candidates: "If elected, I will cut government spending by
the 53% that most Americans currently think politicians and bureaucrats
waste. I'll return that money to you, the voter, so you can spend
it on the charitable, community, or environmental groups that actually
accomplish the good things you want, without all the waste."

Radio
Ad Calls Out Politicians Who Have Used Marijuana
The radio
ad begins by naming names: prominent government officials who have
admitted to using marijuana. The list includes President George
W. Bush, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former President
Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, and Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas.
The ad then asks, "Is it fair to arrest three-quarters of a
million people a year -- for doing what presidents and a Supreme
Court justice have done?"
It's a great question -- and one you can bet a lot of politicians
wish wouldn't be asked.
The ad, sponsored by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), began airing
in early July and will air through the summer.
You can hear it for yourself here.
"Nearly 100 million Americans, including the politicians named
in the ad, have used marijuana -- and the vast majority have gone
on to lead successful lives," said Rob Kampia, MPP executive
director. "Our government has spent hundreds of millions of
tax dollars on ads claiming that the use of marijuana leads to addiction,
illness, and destruction, but for the overwhelming majority of responsible,
adult marijuana users -- just as for responsible, adult alcohol
users -- that simply isn't true.
"Marijuana prohibition has completely failed to stop marijuana
use, while giving unregulated criminals a monopoly on the marijuana
market," Kampia continued.
Kampia notes that alcohol and tobacco, the two most commonly abused
drugs in the U.S., are both legal. He further notes that research
shows that marijuana is safer than both of these drugs.
Of course, believing this is not to endorse marijuana use, any more
than believing that cigarettes and liquor should be legal implies
an endorsement of the use of those substances.
MPP says it "believes that the best way to minimize the harm
associated with marijuana is to regulate marijuana in a manner similar
to alcohol."
Polls indicate that huge and growing numbers of Americans agree
with MPP on this. Late last year, a Gallup poll found that 36 percent
of Americans now favor re-legalization, up from 25 percent in 1995.
And younger Americans (aged 18 to 29) are the strongest supporters
of marijuana law reform, with 47 percent endorsing re-legalization.

One
Century of FDA Tyranny
It's
the centennial of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA workers
are even singing an anthem, written by an employee, to commemorate
the event. The "FDA Centennial Anthem," posted proudly
at the FDA's Web site, begins:
One century past, a people's hope fulfilled
By an act conceived for safe medicine and food
Protecting rights that our founding fathers willed
To life and liberty, to happiness pursued.
Of course, these lines are Orwellian nonsense. If you truly have
a right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then you
have the right to market and purchase medicines and foods of your
choosing. A huge, monolithic federal bureaucracy that prohibits
free choice in such matters is the very opposite of this.
It should be further noted that, despite claims that it protects
the safety of Americans, the FDA has actually killed hundreds of
thousands of people by its drug regulations.
An article in the July-August 2005 Freeman magazine, "The
FDA Cannot Be Reformed," by Arthur E. Foulkes, points out a
few examples:
"[T]he FDA for many years prohibited aspirin makers from advertising
the potential cardiovascular benefits of their product since the
agency had not originally approved it for that purpose and despite
widespread knowledge that aspirin therapy could significantly reduce
the risk of heart attack in males over 50. In the words of economist
Paul H. Rubin, 'The FDA surely killed tens, and quite possibly hundreds,
of thousands of Americans by this restriction alone.'
"In another example, the FDA approved the gastric ulcer drug
Misoprostol in 1988 -- three years after it had been available in
other countries. Analyst Sam Kazman estimated -- using the FDA's
own figures -- that this delay may have led to between 20,000 and
50,000 unnecessary deaths."
There are many other examples.
FDA regulations have made introducing a new drug into the U.S. more
lengthy, difficult, and expensive than anywhere else in the world.
Says Foulkes: "It now typically takes between ten and 15 years
to bring a new drug to the U.S. market at a cost of over $800 million."
This, of course, jacks up drug costs and dramatically lowers the
number of new drugs introduced into the United States, thus depriving
Americans of beneficial and even life-saving drugs. The Cato Institute
cites Robert Goldberg of Brandeis University: "By a conservative
estimate, FDA delays in allowing U.S. marketing of drugs used safely
and effectively elsewhere around the world have cost the lives of
at least 200,000 Americans over the past 30 years."
The FDA is inconsistent with a free society, and an actual menace
to all Americans. It is unnecessary, to boot. There are free-market
methods of protecting consumers from dangerous drugs, while also
allowing consumer freedom of choice and not stifling the creativity
and ingenuity of scientists and researchers. (Some alternatives
to the FDA are discussed in Foulke's Freeman article, and
in another Freeman article, both linked below.)
A century of bad policy and hundreds of thousands of unnecessary
deaths and untold suffering is enough. It's past time to say goodbye
to the FDA.

QUICK
SHOTS...
* Libertarian
magazine named one of best in America: Congratulations
to our friends at Reason magazine. The libertarian magazine
has once again made the Chicago Tribune's prestigious list
of the "Best 50 Magazines." The Tribune ranked
Reason at number 37 -- out of 17,000 magazines to choose from. It
was also ranked as the second-best political magazine, behind only
the leftwing Mother Jones. Wrote the Tribute:
"The ideological conservatives have sharply raised their publishing
game in recent years with the Weekly Standard and the National
Review. Lesser-known but even more engaging is this monthly
libertarian publication, which is especially good at putting the
politically right-leaning to the test when it comes to a less-government-is-better
ideology." Incidentally, you can subscribe to Reason
-- at the lowest rates available anywhere -- at the Advocates
Online Newsstand.
* Enforcing "American values" -- at gunpoint:
"The online-gambling ban [just passed by the U.S. House of
Representatives], which dictates what adults may do with their own
money on their own computers in their own homes, is part of what
Republicans proudly call their 'American Values Agenda.' Evidently,
those values do not include privacy, freedom of choice, individual
responsibility or free markets." -- Syndicated libertarian
columnist Jacob
Sullum (July 12, 2006)

Persuasion Power
Point
#208 |
Be Glad
You're Dissatisfied
By
Michael Cloud
Satisfaction
gets great press, but dissatisfaction changes the world.
Satisfaction is comforting and pleasurable. Dissatisfaction is irritating
and frustrating.
Satisfaction is warm and relaxing. Dissatisfaction is abrasive and
unsettling.
Satisfaction lets us enjoy what we have and what we've done. Dissatisfaction
stirs us up with what we don't have -- and what we haven't done.
Satisfied people are complacent people. Dissatisfied people disturb
the peace.
Satisfied people sustain and support things as they are. Dissatisfied
people sow the seeds of change.
Be glad you're dissatisfied. Because that quality can help
you advance the cause of liberty.
I'm not praising ugly, vulgar, ordinary dissatisfaction. I'm celebrating
inspirational dissatisfaction. Divine discontent. Constructive
dissatisfaction. Positive discontent.
Productive dissatisfaction is the grain of sand that irritates the
oyster -- and creates the pearl.
Inspirational dissatisfaction is the powerful spur that drives us
to launch great businesses, seek cures for diseases, or achieve
freedom.
It's the spur, but we must ride and guide the horse toward better
things.
Use your creative dissatisfaction to fuel your libertarian outreach.
Use it to prompt and provoke positive conversations about making
government small. Harness it to forward pro-freedom email articles
and newsletters to non-libertarian friends.
But don't stop with your dissatisfaction.
Look and listen for dissatisfaction in others. That irritation,
that discontent is fertile soil for libertarian ideas.
It's easier to sell aspirin when people have headaches. Throbbing
political pain can be freedom's gain.
Satisfied people stayed in the Old World. Dissatisfied people sailed
to the New World.
Satisfied colonists supported King George. Dissatisfied colonists
answered the call of Tom Paine -- and won America's independence
and liberty.
Satisfied people today support or tolerate America's Big Government.
Dissatisfied people work to advance the cause of small government
and liberty.
Be glad you're dissatisfied. And sow the seeds of positive discontent.

Ask
Dr.
Ruwart |
Dr.
Mary Ruwart is a leading expert in libertarian communication. In
this column she offers short answers to real questions about libertarianism.
To submit questions to Dr. Ruwart, see end of column.
How
could libertarianism help the poor and disabled?
QUESTION: "I am a 60-year-old disabled widow. I have
been unable to work at all for over 15 years. After years of paying
high taxes, which I thought were to help me in case of emergency,
I had to fight with the government for 5 years to obtain my disability
judgment. I live on a meager $800 a month and never know from one
month to the next if I will be able to pay my bills. I receive nothing
from any charities. I am in physical and emotional pain, almost
suicidal at times. Tell me where I'd be without the government pittance
I receive. Dead or on the streets under a bridge, that's where.
How could a libertarian government help me in any positive way?"
MY
SHORT ANSWER: In a libertarian society, you probably wouldn't
be just scraping by on the equivalent of $800 a month. A libertarian
society wouldn't have the taxes and regulations that hamper our
economy. Consequently, our nation would be at least three times
wealthier.
More wealth means better living standards for everyone, including
the disadvantaged. That's why it's better to be a poor person in
the United States than in India. As a nation embraces liberty, wealth
creation increases and people with low income, like yourself, benefit
proportionately.
For example, in a libertarian society, you wouldn't have paid those
high taxes when you worked. You could have bought disability insurance
with some of the savings. Consequently, in your time of need, you'd
be getting much more then you are now. Insurance companies invest
your money so that it's there when you need it. The government,
on the other hand, spends it and can only pay you by taxing the
next generation, including your children and grandchildren if you
have any. Of course, the next generation pays $2 for every $1 you
receive. The government pays the other $1 to the tax collectors,
lawmakers, and bureaucrats who administer your disability program.
What a waste!
In a wealthier, libertarian society, people would have much more
money to give to charities. You probably wouldn't need charity,
since you'd have a true disability insurance. However, if you did
need charity, it would most likely be there, as it was in the days
before government welfare. Indeed, charity was so plentiful that
some individuals made their living simply by going from charity
to charity and collecting the handouts that were offered. They became
known as "rounders," or shady characters, because of their
willingness to take without giving.
Today, many people assume that the government takes care of the
disabled and don't even think about helping them. They forget that
politicians rarely deliver what they promise. Consequently, many
of the needy are literally left out in the cold. (We call them "homeless.")
People like yourself, who receive back a tiny fraction of what they
have put in, become fearful of dismantling the very system that
has impoverished them. The government programs that give you a monthly
pittance are the very reason that you can barely get by after working
hard for the better part of your adult life.
We all receive back a tiny fraction of what we put in. The very
least that a libertarian government would do for each of us is let
us keep what we earn.
A libertarian government would enforce contracts. If someone took
our money with the promise of adequate disability insurance, they'd
have to provide it -- or go to jail. Our politicians can promise
us anything and give us nothing. Because they enjoy sovereign immunity,
we can't even prosecute them for their fraud.
Part of that fraud comes to us in the "inflation tax."
Because politicians spend more than the government takes from us,
they expand the money supply and inflate the currency. Those on
a fixed income find it harder to make ends meet each year, as this
hidden "tax" takes more and more of our spending power.
The bottom line is this: People like yourself, who are just scraping
to get by, would have much more in a libertarian society. Indeed,
if we had had a libertarian government, you would almost certainly
be comfortable now instead of on the verge of suicide.
Will you continue to support the government that has created your
problems, or will you support libertarian values?

One-Minute
Liberty
Tip |

Word
Choices: Try "Re-legalization"
By
Sharon Harris, Advocates President
Sometimes,
when talking about ending drug prohibition, I've found it useful
to use -- instead of the common "legalization" and "decriminalization"
-- the word "re-legalization."
This word almost invariably provokes curiosity. "What do you
mean: re-legalization?"
And this in turn gives you the opportunity to tell the little-known,
fascinating fact that drugs were legal in America well into the
twentieth century, and the country suffered none of the disastrous
results your listeners may fear from legalization. Further, America
didn't face the many evils the Drug War causes today, such as increased
violent crime, police corruption, and loss of civil liberties.
Another way to use the word "re-legalization" is to reply
to a question like, "Do you favor legalization of drugs?"
with, "Actually, I prefer the word 're-legalization,' because..."
and then you can make the same case above.
This simple word choice can stimulate discussion and open minds.
Be sure to learn some history about American drug prohibition for
maximum impact.
