Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

well yes but a government that doesn’t want to give you anything can also take anything they want, can’t they?
Twig has a point. Just tot up what NuLab’s removed from the British polity in a short seven years.
I believe the actual quote is:
“The government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take from you everything you have.”
And it will, too.
Pedantically,
