-Caveat Lector- From http://www2.georgemag.com/interviews/harry1.html }}>Begin Excerpt (a three part article at the site) nterview with Harry Browne By Brian Weiss Ralph Nader might make the most noise, and the battle over the Reform party may hog the headlines, but the Libertarian party and presidential candidate Harry Browne have quietly emerged as America's best organized third party. Running for president for the second time, candidate Harry Browne talks to Georgemag.com about his message of eliminating the income tax, stopping the War on Drugs and why Al Gore and George W. Bush might belong in prison. For people who may not be familiar with it, explain the Libertarian philosophy. It's very simple. Libertarians want you to be free to live your life as you want to live it, just as long as you don't intrude on somebody else's person or property. Libertarians think you go to work everyday, so you ought to keep the money that you earn. If the politicians want some of that money, they ought to ask for it instead of taking it by force. This is what separated America from the rest of the world. Instead of kings ruling by divine right you had a right to self-determination. All of that has been lost in the United States. Politicians decide everything. They decide how much of your income you are going to be allowed to keep, they decide how big your toilet is going to be, they decide how your child's school is going to be run, how your health insurance company has to treat you. They make all the rules. And as a result, America is no different from any other country in the world.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
