“I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.” WorldRunningKidsAnimalWeekDadQuietPropertyMy DadHillsMumBest Of Both WorldsAdelaide Author:Teresa Palmer
“When done right - or wrong, depending on how you look at it - deficits remove liberal options from the table. Suddenly there's no money for building bridges or inspecting meat. Not surprisingly, running up a deficit is a strategy favored by the wrecking crew for its liberal-killing properties.” LooksDoneRunningBuildingTablesStrategyPropertyKillingBridgesMeatRemoveCrewDeficitNo MoneyBuilding Bridges Author:Thomas Frank
“My position as regards the monied interests can be put in a few words. In every civilized society property rights must be carefully safeguarded; ordinarily and in the great majority of cases, human rights and property rights are fundamentally and in the long run, identical; but when it clearly appears that there is a real conflict between them, human rights must have the upper hand; for property belongs to man and not man to property.” MenHumansLongRealHandsRunningPoliticsInterestCasesRightsPositionConflictRegardMajorityPropertyHuman RightsCivilizedLong RunsIdenticalProperty RightsFew WordsCivilized SocietyUpper Hand Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Land taxes is the thing. They got so high that there is no chance to make anything. Not only land but all property tax. You see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. Well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. They never ask if the land makes anything. "It's land ain't it? Well tax it then."” IfsTryingWellsRealCountryWholeRunningTodayAsksHouseChanceLandConditionsTaxesPropertyRevenueOld DaysProperty Taxes Author:Will Rogers
“Experiments in digitizing and running neural wetware under emulation are well established; some radical libertarians claim that, as the technology matures, death with its draconian curtailment of property and voting rights will become the biggest civil rights issue of all.” WellsRunningTechnologyIssuesRightsClaimsPropertyLibertarianExperimentsCivil RightsRadicalVotingRight To VoteEmulationDraconian Book:Accelerando Source: Accelerando
“So the Bush-Obama administration has taken a fiscal stance diametrically opposed to that of the patron saint of free enterprise. While escalating war in Afghanistan and maintaining over 850 military bases around the world, the administration has run up the national debt that Smith decried. By shifting the tax burden off property and off rent-seeking monopolies - above all, off the financial sector - this policy has raised America's cost of living and doing business, thereby undercutting its competitive power and running up larger and larger foreign debt.” WorldWarRunningAmericaTakenMilitaryPolicyCostTaxesBasesPropertyRaisedFinancialSaintSeekingBurdenDebtAround The WorldAdministrationEnterpriseAfghanistanMaintainingMonopolyShiftingStanceAnd OffFree EnterprisePatronNational DebtCost Of LivingEscalatingTax BurdenMilitary Bases Author:Michael Hudson
“So many of the new nations which were established as democracies after the second world war, during the decolonizing process, have now changed their system to state-socialism. Small elites run them, and they aren't sharing societies. They aren't even socialist. The power of the state has been merged with business property and you have the greatest concentration of power that's possible.” WorldHas BeensWarStatesRunningPoliticsNationsProcessEconomyDemocracyChangedPropertySocialismWar Of The WorldsLiberalismConcentrationElitesSocialistSecond World War Author:Daniel Patrick Moynihan
“Eyes are bold as lions,--roving, running, leaping, here and there, far and near. They speak all languages. They wait for no introduction; they are no Englishmen; ask no leave of age or rank; they respect neither property nor riches, neither learning nor power, nor virtue, nor sex, but intrude, and come again, and go through and through you in a moment of time. What inundation of life and thought is discharged from one soul into another through them!” SoulMomentsEyeRunningAgeAsksSpeakLanguageSexWaitingVirtuePropertyRichesLionsIntroductionHere And ThereEnglishmenRoving Book:Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated)
