The critical problem we face today is the same one
all mankind has faced: the State, those monopolists who claim the right to break
the laws that they make and enforce. How to restrain them is the critical
problem of all sound political thinking. Making matters worse, this gang now
has a monopoly on the money and the ability to print it, and they are abusing
that power at our expense.
How does voting change the situation? Neither of the
candidates for president wants to do anything about the problem. On the
contrary, they want to make it worse. This is for a reason. The State owns
the “democratic process” as surely as it owns the Departments of
Labor and Defense and uses it in ways that benefit the State and no one else.
On the other hand, we do have the freedom not to
vote. No one has yet drafted us into the voting booth. I suggest that we
exercise this right not to participate. It is one of the few rights we have
left. Nonparticipation sends a message that we no longer believe in the
racket they have cooked up for us, and we want no part of it.
You might say that this is ineffective. But what
effect does voting have? It gives them what they need most: a mandate.
Nonparticipation helps deny that to them. It makes them, just on the margin,
a bit more fearful that they are ruling us without our consent. This is all
to the good. The government should fear the people. Not voting is a good
beginning toward instilling that fear.
This year especially there is no lesser of two
evils. There is socialism or fascism. The true American spirit should guide
every voter to have no part of either.
