'We do not like Green Eggs & Pork,'
Libertarians say to Dr. Seuss memorial

        WASHINGTON, DC -- In the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) 2001 appropriations bill -- which Congress will vote
on when it returns for its year-end lame-duck session -- $400,000 has
been earmarked to build a "memorial" to Dr. Seuss, the author of Green
Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and other children's books.

        The memorial would be built by the Springfield Library and
Museum Association in Springfield, Massachusetts -- so it's no surprise
that the provision to spend $400,000 was inserted into the bill by two
Massachusetts Democrats, Senator Edward Kennedy and Rep. Richard Neal.

        In opposition to this wasteful "pork" spending, and in tribute
to Dr. Seuss, the Libertarian Party issued the following statement:


Green Eggs And Pork

We do not like it
Pork-I-Am,
This spendaholic
Uncle Sam.

We do not like those
Rs and Ds,
Who can't resist more
subsidies.

We do not like the cash they waste;
sky-high taxes spent in haste.
Frugality, they have erased,
and every bill, of pork it tastes.

We do not like it on the Hill,
When snuck into HUD's spending bill.
It shouldn't pass -- we bet it will
More money from the public till.

If YOU don't like
this Pork-I-Am
Start voting
Libertarian.

WE would not vote for
Pork-I-Am.
Or subsidize
green eggs and ham.

Job training programs
for the Grinch?
We would not even
budge an inch.

And if a cat
needed a hat?
Free enterprise is
there for that.

Now, just in case you are obtuse
I'll make it clear, with no excuse
We would not do it for a moose
We would not do it for a goose
And as you may by now deduce --
We'd vote "no" on Dr. Seuss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects.  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.
