C.S. Lewis tells you

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." — C.S. Lewis

I should note that when Lewis says "robber barons," he means the roaming government criminals of the pre-middle ages, not (as the Marxists would have it) the businessmen of the 19th century. (Thanks to Jesse Nelson) via LRC Blog

Gibson Guitar Corp. Responds to Federal Raid

“The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.” -video interview

Jim Rogers Says Gold Going Higher, EU Deserves Downgrade

“Governments all over the world are debasing currency; Yesterday, the US Federal Reserve said it will continue to debase their currency. The more the governments will debase paper currency, people will take refuge in real assets and gold is one of them,” he said.

“The U.S. has been downgraded and countries like the UK have very high debt will have to be downgraded too. You can’t have the UK as triple ‘A’ and the US as not a triple ‘A’. You need to be asking S&P or Moody’s why they haven’t got around doing that. I don’t think, the European countries deserve their rates,” he told the Economic Times.

Small Business Support for Ron Paul

“Regulation is contrived by big government and supported by big business to make it more difficult for small business to compete with them. Ron Paul has a career in politics voting against this type of regulation and leveling the playing field for the smaller businesses to be competitive,” said Marcus Fedler.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms, employ just over half of all private sector workers and pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll. Over the past 15 years small businesses have generated 64 percent of all net new jobs, and they contribute to more than half of the nonfarm private gross domestic product (GDP). The Iowa Independent
