I have many times asserted and I maintain that we should have a MORATORIUM on regulations AND foreign "aid," while we figger out what the hell we stand for and how we mean to live up to it.

Dust off the Sherman Act. Spend 2010 busting racketeers and busting up monopolies, horizontal AND vertical -- emphasis on prison sentences, stripping pensions and seizing ill-gotten gains.

Sherman and Clayton Anti-trust was lobbied by the moguls of their time. These two acts benefit large companies. Just type in Sherman Act, Clayton Act, Anti-trust into mises.org and you will see.

We need to repeal Sherman and Clayton. We need to make entering markets as easy as it can possibly can be. While we are at it, we need to repeal LL Corporations. There is no reason whatsoever why a business should ever be protected by the State, nor, should they ever have the same rights as individuals.

EVERYTHING is lobbied and propelled by Big Money. Always has been.

It's like the Tax Code, the Judicial System and, jeepers, Public Office. It can be wielded differently by different people with different intents.

Racketeering is Big Game Hunting.




We need to repeal Sherman and Clayton.


In a theoretically perfect paradigm, I agree. In the material world, I disagree.




We need to make entering markets as easy as it can possibly can be.

Too big to fail is too big to exist -- that's Step Two. Step One is puttin' some Bad Guys in the federal penitentiaries to which they so liberally condemn others.

And he was murdered by communists. A true martyr

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller, Memoirs , 2002

We need to stop subsidizing these large companies with government money and government contracts and let the free market decide which companies will succeed or fail. Sherman and Clayton are good in theory, but in practice, they just break up the companies that give the Executive Branch the least amount of money.

Larry McDonald was a conservative Democrat who knew about the international communist conspiracy. He was the president of the John Birch Society, almost another Ron Paul.

The Russians murdered him in 1983 when they shot down KAL flight 007. I happened to be living in Anchorage AK at that time, working at the airport, no less. It was a big event, but the liberal mainstream media barely mentioned that he was on board. Years later I learned who he was.

McDonald mentioned John Ashbrook, who died a "recent, sudden strange" death. I had never heard of him. He was another anti-socialist congressman who was likely murdered by the Establishment, or at least McDonald implied that something was suspicious about his death. Ironic that he would be killed a year later.

On Larry McDonald.

Here's a thread devoted to exactly this topic (not passing any new laws that aren't straight repeals of old laws):
