Economic Stimulation



If the government truly wants to “stimulate” the economy it should stop interfering with it. Stop intervening in it. Stop coercing it. Bring a halt to its initiation of force, criminality, and tyranny.

There should be no more business permits. No more professional licenses. No more labor laws. No more government paperwork.

Business owners should be free to hire and fire at will, pay what they want, and make workers do as they command, without restrictions. Workers, in turn, should be free to accept, reject, and quit any job offered, and make any demands they desire. Workers should be allowed to instantly start up any “gig” job or business they wish as well.

There should be no more Welfare State nonsense and dictatorship, such as minimum wages, overtime pay, hours restrictions, paid holidays, paid sick days, maternity leave, bereavement leave, vacations, breaks, sundry benefits, or health care unless both employer and employee agree to them.

Government should stop coercively “helping” management and labor. Government should stop “benevolently” coercing all aspects of economic production and trade.

Let people live. Let people function. Let people be free. Let people be happy.

Let people enjoy economic liberty, and behave as they choose, and engage in whatever non-coercive, non-fraudulent, business activity they wish.

Government only exists to stop physical coercion and financial fraud. Government only exists to protect people and property. It should never “regulate” people and their voluntary, social behavior and peaceful, personal activity. It should never regulate economic activity or private businesses involved in producing, manufacturing, promoting, advertising, distributing, trading, buying, and selling.

All such regulation is criminal. All such regulation is tyrannical.

Production and trade are sacred and untouchable. Government has no right to interfere ever. Government has no right to intervene as an unwanted third party between two persons or companies that seek to exchange products or services. Under Natural Law and the inherent freedom of man, government has no right to prevent people from doing business as they see fit, and engaging in free enterprise and free trade as they choose.

Regulating business “to protect the public” or “for the common good” is an act of coercion and force. It’s an act of law-breaking and tyranny. And it never benefits the public or serves the common good in any rational or meaningful sense. This violation of individual rights harms and impoverishes everyone involved.

If government genuinely seeks to “stimulate” the economy it should leave it alone. Stop damaging it. Take its hands off. Call off the dogs. Lower its weapons. Laissez-faire.
