If You Like Liberty, Don’t Run for Federal Office
This probably one of the hardest points to make for those interested in government reform, but if you want change, stay away from the Leviathan. Unfortunately, that Siren sings a sweet song. It’s captivating. Every election cycle, someone interested in (supposedly) shrinking government mounts a campaign for federal office. Roy Moore provided the latest example.…
