Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of production and trade...
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
The government was set to protect man from criminals, and the Constitution was written to protect man from the government.
Government "help" to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
The only proper purpose of a government is to protect mans rights, which means to protect him from physical violence.... The only proper functions of a government are the police, to protect you from criminals the army, to protect you from foreign invaders and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, and to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law.
