“The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the united States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it. Statists believe that their lives - their very being - are a privilege that the state has given to them. They believe that everything they do is - and should be - dependent on the consent of the government. Thus, statists support such devices as income taxation, licensing laws, regulations, passports, trade restrictions, and the like.” WayShouldBelieveStatesGovernmentTodayChristianLawGivenUnitedViewsMillionsUnited StatesSupportWorshipTradeFortunePrivilegeIncomeDependentDevicesFollowersRegulationConsentCultAdoreTaxationRestrictionIncome TaxPassportsOmnipotentLicensing Book:The tyranny of gun control Source: The tyranny of gun control
