In spite of millions of man-hours and billions of dollars spent every year to keep the American productive class voiceless, deprived of an effective franchise, the era of its exploitation by corrupt politicians and even more corrupt mass media is coming to an end. Few productive class Americans understand (yet) that they stagger under taxes [...]

Libertarianism is Compassionate Capitalism
Compassionate Capitalism? It sounds like a contradictions in terms, like ‘cruel kindness’ or ‘living death’. To many, “capitalism” means “dog-eat-dog, law of the jungle, every person for himself or herself”. Many angrily claim that Capitalists succeed because they are not compassionate. Moreover, they would be right about a great many capitalists who are certifiable S.O.B.s. [...]

We seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others.
The Vigilant Society was inspired by the book 'Vigilant' by James Alan Gardner. In the book there is a band of fiercely independent monitors called 'Vigils' charged with rooting out government corruption. None of the members of the Vigil were part of the government but were tasked with the monitoring of what the government was doing and who would ultimately benefit from any given law being passed along with any probable results of a given law and then disseminate the information to the public. It struck me that something similar could be done in the United States. Thusly the concept of the Vigilance Society. Vigilance Society Motto: Audemus jura nostra defendere (Latin for 'We Dare Defend Our Rights') The Vigilance Society Principle: The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Group Tags
