 President's
Corner
by
Sharon Harris
Nobel Prize Winner
on Political Change
Nobel
Prize-winning
economist Gary
Becker was the
subject of a
fascinating and very
insightful
article/interview
recently in the Wall
Street Journal.
Becker is a strong
defender of free
markets, and the
entire article is
well worth reading.
But I found this
part especially
interesting:
----------------------------------------
What Mr. Becker has
seen over a career
spanning more than
five decades is that
free markets are
good for human
progress. And at a
time when increasing
government
intervention in the
economy is all the
rage, he insists
that [free market
defenders] must not
withdraw from the
debate simply
because their cause,
for now, appears
quixotic.
As a young academic
in 1956, Mr.
 Becker
wrote an important
paper against
conscription. He was
discouraged from
publishing it
because, at the
time, the popular
view was that the
military draft could
never be abolished.
Of course it was,
and looking back, he
says, "that taught
me a lesson." Today
as Washington
appears unstoppable
in its quest for
more power and
lovers of liberty
are accused of
tilting at
windmills, he says
it is no time to
concede.
----------------------------------------
This is
very
important for
everyone who loves
liberty to remember.
Anyone old enough to
witness the dramatic
fall of the Berlin
Wall in 1989 knows
what Becker means.
For decades that
hideous wall stood,
seemingly as
permanent as the
pyramids, the
physical
manifestation of a
profoundly evil
totalitarian
ideology. But when
the ideology the
wall symbolized was
rejected, the
seemingly permanent
structure vanished
almost overnight.
Similarly, the
statist,
big-government ideas
currently dominating
the national
political debate
are, by their very
nature, doomed to
failure. Friends of
liberty can speed
that process along
with activism and
education. Then,
when these ideas
inevitably do blow
up, our ideas will
be there, fresh and
refined, ready to
replace the failed
statist ideas of the
past.
Not long ago, the
big-government
mainstream statist
conservative
movement seemed
unstoppable -- it
dominated the
political landscape.
Today, it is in
shambles, a victim
of its own
inconsistency and
hubris. The leftist
"progressive"
movement now
vigorously
challenging it did
not appear suddenly
out of nowhere. It
is the result of
many years of hard
work by a relatively
small number of
individuals to
construct an
alternative to the
conservative
paradigm.
The progressives
have achieved
remarkable success
-- but this, too,
will be only
temporary, because,
at bottom, statist
ideas, whether left
or right, are
unworkable in a
large, modern,
industrial society.
Meanwhile,
libertarian ideas --
the ideals of free
markets, personal
freedom, and peace
-- are making
remarkable and rapid
gains. As I noted
last issue, we are
at the birth of what
Reason magazine
calls "the
Libertarian Moment."
On issue after
issue, we are
winning converts.
From a tiny movement
only a few years
ago, we are rapidly
becoming a powerful
part of mainstream
American politics.
It is a great time
to be a libertarian!
And every individual
effort counts --
including yours.
Always remember how
very important these
ideas are. As Gary
Becker says in the
Wall Street Journal
interview:
"When the market
economy is compared
to alternatives,
nothing is better at
raising
productivity,
reducing poverty,
improving health and
integrating the
people of the
world."
Liberty is literally
a matter of life and
death. As
libertarian ideas
become increasingly
accepted, our world
will be a freer,
healthier, safer,
and more prosperous
one. This is the
great work all
libertarians are
engaged in.
Do it well. Thank
you!

Good News,

Harris
Gov't Wrecks
"Dr. Do-Good's"
Low-Cost Health
Care Plan
Build a better
mousetrap and...
the government
will beat a path
to your door --
and shut it
down.
 That's
what happened to
Dr. John Muney,
a former surgeon
who runs the AMG
Medical Group
clinics in New
York's five
boroughs.
Dr. Muney wanted
to help patients
who lacked
health insurance
receive medical
care.
So, last year,
he came up with
an innovative
market solution.
For just $79 a
month, his
clinics would
offer patients
unlimited office
visits (with a
$10 copay),
common tests
including
bloodworm,
sonogram, x-ray
as needed,
physical therapy
visits, and even
in-office
surgeries. Not
included was
treatment
requiring
hospitalization
or specialized
care.
This innovative,
affordable plan
led the New York
Post to label
Dr. Muney "Dr.
Do-Good."
However, the New
York state
government has
stopped Dr.
Do-Good. Why?
The state
Insurance
Department
declared his
service was, in
essence, a form
of insurance --
and that would
require a
license,
certification,
and regulation
from the state.
"I'm not doing
an insurance
business," a
frustrated Dr.
Muney responded.
"I'm just
providing my
services at my
place during
certain hours.
"If they leave
me alone, I can
serve thousands
of patients."
But they won't
leave him alone.
So, in order to
avoid being shut
down, he has
been forced to
more than triple
his per office
co-pay charge
and cut back
service for his
uninsured
patients.
"I really don't
want to charge
more," Dr. Muney
says. "They're
forcing me. ...
I just wanted to
charge the flat
rate. Most
likely,
[patients] will
struggle with
it."
Dr. Muney is
fighting back,
and his story is
drawing media
attention. Many
citizens are
outraged at the
arrogance of
bureaucrats who
would cripple a
plan designed to
help the very
people --
Americans
lacking health
insurance -- so
many in
government say
they are so
concerned about.
Dr. Muney's
story is more
proof that the
real healthcare
problems America
faces are caused
by politicians
and bureaucrats,
not the market.
Overstock.com
CEO is a
Libertarian,
Adventurer
Patrick M. Byrne
is one of the
most successful
online retailers
in the world. He
is president,
CEO, and
chairman of the
board of
directors of the
Internet
retailer
Overstock.com.
Under his
leadership the
company's annual
revenue has
grown from $1.8
million in 1999
to $760.2
million in 2007.
Overstock.com
pioneered the
online sale of
surplus
merchandise.
Today it
features a
combination of
surplus,
returned, and
new items --
making it,
essentially, a
kind of online
outlet mall,
providing the
same brand-name
products found
in traditional
retail stores at
deep discounts.
In 2002, Byrne
was named to
Business Week's
list of the 25
most influential
people in
e-business.
Byrne is also a
self-described
libertarian, and
a vigorous
defender of free
markets and
small
government.
"The market is
the only way to
organize a
society that is
going to be free
and prosperous,"
Byrne declared
in a March 2009
interview on
financial
advisor Don
McAlvany's
podcast.
"Typically, I
think private
enterprise can
do things better
for half the
money or less."
Byrne has a
particular
interest in
educational
freedom. He
serves as
co-chair (with
Rose Friedman)
for The Friedman
Foundation for
Educational
Choice. This
non-profit
organization was
founded by the
legendary
libertarian
economist Milton
Friedman and his
wife Rose, and
promotes school
vouchers and
other forms of
school choice.
Byrne has also
spoken highly of
libertarian
congressman and
2008 GOP
presidential
candidate Ron
Paul.
In early 2008,
Byrne wrote:
"In October
[2007] Dr. Paul
came to Utah,
and he and I
visited for an
hour in my
office. After
that meeting, I
gave him the
largest donation
I could under
federal law: it
is rare to meet
a politician who
understands the
Constitution,
and rarer still
to meet one who
thinks it binds
the government
meaningfully (I
would give Dr.
Paul more were
there not now a
federal blackout
on free speech
known as
"McCain-Feingold").
In a television
interview last
week I stated
that, while for
the first time
in my life I
felt there are
several
candidates
qualified to be
president, my #1
choice would be
Dr. Paul."
Byrne is a man
of many
interests and
achievements. He
has a PhD in
philosophy from
Stanford; he
also holds a
certificate from
Beijing Normal
University, a
Bachelor of Arts
degree in
Chinese studies
from Dartmouth
College, and a
Master's degree
from Cambridge
University as a
Marshall
Scholar. He
speaks five
languages,
including
Mandarin.
He's also an
athlete and
adventurer. He's
motorcycled
through India
and Southeast
Asia, has
bicycled across
the United
States five
times, is a
black belt in
tae kwon do, and
once considered
boxing as a
career.
Leading
Magazine: End
the Drug War Now
The Economist is
one of the most
influential news
magazines in the
world. The
weekly
publication has
a highly
educated and
influential
readership of
over one
million.
A
lengthy article
in the March 5th
issue
 makes
a strong case
that the
century-long War
on Drugs has
been a colossal
failure -- and
should be ended.
It's entitled
"Failed states
and failed
policies: How to
stop the drug
wars."
The subtitle
sums it up:
"Prohibition has
failed;
legalization is
the least bad
solution."
Some excerpts:
"[T]he war on
drugs has been a
disaster,
creating failed
states in the
developing world
even as
addiction has
flourished in
the rich world.
By any sensible
measure, this
100-year
struggle has
been illiberal,
murderous and
pointless. That
is why The
Economist
continues to
believe that the
least bad policy
is to legalize
drugs. ...
"Although some
illegal drugs
are extremely
dangerous to
some people,
most are not
especially
harmful.
(Tobacco is more
addictive than
virtually all of
them.) Most
consumers of
illegal drugs,
including
cocaine and even
heroin, take
them only
occasionally.
They do so
because they
derive enjoyment
from them (as
they do from
whisky or a
Marlboro Light).
It is not the
state's job to
stop them from
doing so. ...
"[F]ar from
reducing crime,
prohibition has
fostered
gangsterism on a
scale that the
world has never
seen before. ...
"Legalization
would not drive
gangsters
completely out
of drugs; as
with alcohol and
cigarettes,
there would be
taxes to avoid
and rules to
subvert. Nor
would it
automatically
cure failed
states like
Afghanistan. Our
solution
[legalization]
is a messy one;
but a century of
manifest failure
argues for
trying it."
This is not a
new position for
The Economist.
The magazine has
been
editorializing
against the War
on Drugs for
twenty years.
But today, as
the failures of
drug prohibition
become ever more
obvious, more
and more people
are finally
beginning to
listen.
Afghanistan War:
U.S. Citizen
Support Hits New
Low
 Even
as the Obama
administration
prepares for a
major escalation
of the war in
Afghanistan,
American support
for that war has
reached an
all-time low.
A USA
TODAY/Gallup
poll taken
March 14-15
finds that fully
42% of
respondents said
the United
States made "a
mistake" in
sending military
forces to
Afghanistan --
up from 30% only
a month ago.
That's a
*massive*
reversal. In
January 2002,
only 6% called
the war "a
mistake."
In the current
poll, only 38%
said they think
the war is going
well.

JAY LENO ON THE
STIMULUS:
"The country of
China is going
to be doing a
Broadway-style
play based on
Karl Marx's book
on communism. A
play based on
communism. You
know, that's
where capitalism
has been
replaced by the
government

private
industries. Or
as we call in
this country, 'a

package.'" --
Jay Leno, The

March 24.
WHO PAYS
CORPORATE TAXES:
"[W]hat do you
say to a
politician or
news media
people who
propose
increasing
corporate taxes
as a means to
get rich
corporations to
pay their
rightful share
of government?
They should be
told that they
speak nonsense
because
corporations,
like land, do
not pay taxes;
only people pay
taxes. If a tax
is levied on a
corporation, and
if [the
corporation] is
to survive, it
must raise the
price of its
product, or
lower dividends
or lay off
workers. In each
case, it is
people, not some
legal fiction
called a
corporation, who
bear the burden
of any tax
levied on the
corporation." --

 PERSUASION
POWER
POINT
#265:
How Persuasive
Are You?
by Michael Cloud
How persuasive
are you?
If we could
measure your
effectiveness at
persuasion, what
would be the
results?
If we could test
the
effectiveness of
each persuasive
technique or
script you use,
how would each
one fare?
There's a simple
way to find out.
Be your own
guinea pig. Be
your own lab
rat.
You know
dramatically
more about
yourself than
anyone else
does.
You have
radically more
control over
yourself, far
more influence
over yourself
than you do over
any other person
on Earth.
Pick something
about yourself
that you want to
change. Do you
want to lose
weight?
 Exercise
more? Cut back
on your
drinking? Stop
watching so much
TV? Start
writing that
novel?
Make sure it's
something you
really want to
change.
Use your
favorite
persuasive
technique or
script to
convince
yourself to get
on and stay on a
good diet for 10
weeks -- and
lose the 30 lbs.
Use your best
persuasive
technique or
script or format
to start and
keep yourself on
a daily exercise
regimen for,
say, 10 weeks.
Apply your
foolproof,
can't-miss
persuasive
method or
approach to
start writing
that novel --
and working on
it for 60
minutes a day
for 10 weeks.
(Enough time to
write 1/4 to 1/2
of a 200-page
novel.)
Self-Test: How
many days did
you diet or
exercise or
write? All 70?
50 days? 20
days? A few?
None?
Not getting the
results you
want? Not
getting the
results you
expect?
Try another
persuasive
technique with
the thing you
want to change.
Measure the
results. How
many days did
you diet or
exercise or
write with this
technique?
Still not
getting the
results you want
or expect?
Try another
persuasive
approach or
format.
Self-test the
results.
When you
identify which
of your
persuasive
techniques works
well, use it for
political
persuasion, try
it on 6 or 12
people -- and
measure how
effective it is
with them.
If it works, you
may have a solid
gold way to
persuade.
Self-test and
test your other
persuasion
scripts.
Regularly use
the ones that
work. Trash the
ones that don't.
Experiment on
yourself first.
If a persuasive
approach doesn't
work on you, it
probably won't
work on others.
But if it does
work on you,
then you might
just have a
persuasive
technique that
changes people's
hearts and
minds. A
persuasive
approach that
works.

 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.
Did Libertarian
Party voters favor
Obama?
QUESTION: In
the past election I
got the feeling that
many Libertarian
Party voters
believed their votes
would help to keep
McCain out of
office, thereby
putting Obama in
office.
 Why
would Libertarians
want this? I
personally feel we
have more to lose
with Obama than with
McCain, though it's
very nearly a wash.
MY SHORT ANSWER:
Given the spread in
the vote totals, I
doubt that votes for
the Libertarian
presidential
candidate influenced
the outcome. Some
Libertarians wanted
Obama to defeat
McCain, seeing him
as the anti-war
candidate who might
reverse some of the
Bush
administration's
civil liberties
outrages. Other
Libertarians saw
McCain as possibly
being more inclined
to support more
market-oriented
policies.
Obama is already
increasing
government spending.
The more government
spends, the less we
have. Wealth
creation is slowed
by the resulting
destruction of jobs.
McCain would have
increased government
spending as well,
albeit in different
areas. We would
probably have had
more foreign
intervention and
perhaps fewer
bailouts.
Bottom line: it was
virtually impossible
for voters to tell
which of the major
party candidates is
the "lesser of two
evils," since both
candidates say what
the voters want to
hear, rather than
what they will
actually do. If
either spoke
truthfully, they
would say "I'm going
to take your
hard-earned money
and give it to the
special interests
that funded my
election." The two
candidates differed
only in which
special interest
groups they align
themselves with.

One-Minute
Liberty Tip
Bi-Conceptualism
and You
by Sharon Harris
George Lakoff is
a professor of
linguistics and
a leading
leftwing
rhetoritician.
In
analyzing
Obama's
remarkable
success as a
speaker and
motivator,
Lakoff has noted
Obama's
understanding
and use of the
concept of
"bi-conceptualism."
"Bi-conceptualism"
is the insight
that large
numbers of
people who
describe
themselves with
a particular
ideological
label -- such as
conservative or
liberal or
progressive --
nevertheless
share many
values with
those who use
other labels to
identify
themselves.
Writes Lakoff:
"Most
'conservatives'
are not
thoroughgoing
movement
conservatives,
but are what I
have called
'partial
progressives'
sharing
Obama's...values
on many issues.
Where such folks
agree with him
on values, Obama
tries, and will
continue to try,
to work with
them on those
issues, if not
others. And, he
assumes, that
the more they
come to think in
terms of
those...values,
the less they
will think in
terms of
opposing
conservative
values."
Lakoff gives an
example:
"Bi-conceptualism
lay behind
[Obama's]
invitation to
Pastor Rick
Warren to speak
at the
inauguration.
Warren is a
bi-conceptual,
like many
younger
evangelicals. He
shares Obama's
views of the
environment,
poverty, health
and social
responsibility,
although he is
otherwise a
conservative."
Libertarians can
learn much from
this insight --
and we can
actually benefit
from it more
than liberals or
conservatives.
That's because
many on the left
are already
very much in
line with
libertarians on
key issues of
civil liberties
and foreign
policy. And many
on the right are
similarly with
us on economics.
Plus, a
substantial
number of
conservatives
and liberals are
with us on still
other issues.
The voices of
anti-war
limited-government
conservatives,
and pro-market
civil-libertarian
liberals, are
increasingly
being heard.
Bi-conceptualism
tells us to be
aware of the
vital importance
of these vast
numbers of
"partial
libertarians."
Some thoughts:
1. Instead of
seeking out
areas of
disagreement in
your political
discussions,
find out where
you agree with
your listener.
Emphasize your
agreement.
You've just
found an ally on
key issues.
2. Don't hide
your libertarian
view. Proudly
identify
yourself as a
libertarian, and
be able to
persuasively
describe your
views. But
accept that not
all people will
agree with you,
but can
nevertheless
still be
valuable allies.
3. As people of
the left and
right come to
appreciate your
agreement with
their shared
values, they
will
increasingly
come to respect,
and perhaps
adapt, some or
even all of
them.
The
bi-conceptualism
insight guides
us to build
allies with
"partial
libertarians" on
key issues to
advance freedom
right now. Doing
this will also
build awareness
of
libertarianism
as a distinctive
and growing
movement. And it
will lead more
and more
"partial
libertarians" to
embrace some or
all libertarian
ideas.
