As we now complete one whole week without the FedGov, while millions suffer without health care, children are not taught about choosing their own gender, and planes fall from the air? We share this amusing but somewhat true cartoon:

The answer, of course, is simple: all of these “functions” of government have been deemed “essential” and so the government workers that provide these “services” are still on duty. Still spying, wasting money, and exhibiting contempt for not just you and me, but our beliefs, work, property, and liberties.

The following cartoon may be applicable to many readers and lovers of liberty.

Truthfully, for us here at The Price of Liberty, the longer we get by without “all” of government functioning, the happier we are. Even if only a few dozen people each day come to the conclusion that we do not need all of this “non-essential” government, the better.

Let us make it very clear: history has shown not only that mandatory human government is not essential, but that it is perhaps one of the greatest evils, and the greatest cause of other evils, that we can find in history.

Being without government agencies is undoubtedly a great pain and burden to bear. But it certainly has some good points. We don’t need it the way we think we do!
