Many members of Congress are attorneys at law, officers of a court of law and experts in legal proceedings. They think in terms of man-made law and directive; they have difficulties conceiving of inexorable principles of the market, of the old American ideals of natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and of the need for constitutional limitations of government. With their minds disposed in the ways of government programs and benefits, they approve of common dependency in such matters as healthcare either through Medicare, Medicaid, or mandated employer health insurance. They endorse dependency on Social Security when people retire, and parent dependency on government to educate their children. In fact, many Americans now prefer government care over the freedom to live independent lives; many already have lost the ability to be free and independent.

Stone walls do not prisons make; they are houses of care and dependency. Many members of Congress are busily building legal walls that are as real as the walls surrounding a prison. They are erecting fiscal walls which are to confine the income and wealth of productive Americans, and formidable walls of dependency in which any thought of freedom soon wastes and withers away.

"prisons are built with bricks of shame; tax prisons are surrounded by bricks of shame of the builders."
