“The Declaration of Independence, which Americans will celebrate in a couple of weeks, points out that everyone is endowed with natural, God-given rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life necessarily encompasses the right to sustain one’s life through labor. Liberty necessarily encompasses entering into mutually beneficial economic transactions with others. The pursuit of happiness necessarily encompasses the right to live your life any way you choose, so long as you don’t initiate force or fraud against others. So, a question naturally arises: Why do people have to ask the government for permission to engage in any line of work?” (06/24/24)
