Jeff joined us at Freedomfest. As always he was ranting against the overreach of the state and it's increasing demands and extortion of the people. Jeff believes that the world is leaning more towards anarcho-capitalism. The Freedomfest group now opposes all criminalization of drugs and much government control of the market. Bitcoin's assent is another example. And here's a great Churchill quote, "One day, Winston Churchill went to the bathroom and ran into the head of the Labour Party, who was his political opponent. Churchill took the urinal furthest from him. The head of the Labour Party asked Churchill if he was just being modest. Churchill responded, 'Not at all. It’s just that whenever you Labourite chaps see something that is large, privately owned and working well, you want to nationalize it.” His rival burst out laughing, and the Labour Party abandoned the nationalization bill it was planning to introduce.'"

Nicholas Sarwark has big plans for the National Libertarian Party. Faced with unprecedented dissatisfaction with the current two party system, he plans to push the party beyond its current limits. The Johnson-Weld presidential ticket is poling double digits, although where it will finish is anybody's guess. Sarwark is determined to make the party a viable national alternative to the current corrupt choices. From the looks of things, he's well on his way!

Jared Meyer has written a book about Uber's success taking on the entrenched Taxi monopolies around the globe. He sees it as proof that entrepreneurs will win out over government and that eventually government will surrender to the will of the people. Additional example abound. Airbnb, Amazon and so many others. The sooner government gets out of the way and lets the market function, the better off we'll all be. Jared is a fellow at the famed Manhattan Institute.
