Guest guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 When does anyone think this was written? I'll post the answer later along with some addition material. “Legislation since this period has followed the course, I pointed out. Rapidlymultiplying dictatorial measures have continually tended to restrict individualliberties, and this in two ways. Regulations have been established every yearin greater number, imposing a constraint on the citizen in matters in which hisacts were formerly completely free, and forcing him to accomplish acts whichhe was formerly at liberty to accomplish or not to accomplish at will. At thesame time heavier and heavier public, and especially local, burdens have stillfurther restricted his liberty by diminishing the portion of his profits he canspend as he chooses, and by augmenting the portion which is taken from himto be spent according to the good pleasure of the public authorities.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
