Lysander Spooner: “Political liberty is liberty for the weaker party in a nation.”

Juries would refuse to enforce a tax against a man who had never agreed to pay it.

If the authority be vested in the government, the governmnt is absolute, and the people have no liberties except such as the government sees fit to indulge them with.

And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.

And yet these reasons, which are really no reasons at all, are the only ones, so far as I know, that have ever been offered for this absurd and brutal doctrine.
