E46: 'The Law' vs. Big Government - Legal Plunder
from The Junto Podcast · host edgarmills
Host Edgar Mills compares Frederick Bastiat’s 1850 pamphlet 'The Law' to modern U.S. politics, arguing that government coercion and endless spending have turned modern law into "legal plunder." He explains Bastiat’s principles on natural rights, critiques federal overreach (taxes, the Fed, Social Security, public schooling), and proposes "clean bill" reforms like voluntary taxation, audits, and restoring enumerated powers. He encourages every listener to read 'The Law'. Find it here 'The Law' website or purchase your own copy.
