The Role of Government
“It is not the business of government to make men
virtuous or religious, or to preserve the fool from the consequences of
his own folly. Government should be repressive no further than is
necessary to secure liberty by protecting the equal rights of each from
aggression on the part of others, and the moment governmental
prohibitions extend beyond this line they are in danger of defeating
the very ends they are intended to serve.”– Henry George*
