Quote of the Day: 24 November 2021 #QotD

“[W]hen the law, through the medium of its necessary agent—force—imposes a form of labor, a method or a subject of instruction, a creed, or a worship, it is no longer negative; it acts positively upon men. It substitutes the will of the legislator for their own will, the initiative of the legislator for their own initiative.” -Frédéric Bastiat

[A good reminder of something that should be obvious, but which too few seem to be aware.]
