| Message | Members of Congress, I strongly disagree with Article 1, that high corporation tax does not allow any sort of a duel economy. I agree with Article 2. I disagree with Article 3, because monopolies always damaging to the competition which gives value to capitalism.

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
