Life is better with freedom
Government is control by force. The authority claimed by governments is unique because it is considered a license to use force against peaceful people. People claim it is acceptable for government to do things that an individual would never be allowed to do. This is why governments come up with special words to obscure what they are really doing. War is mass murder. Taxation is theft. Even when government gives money to someone in need it must first steal that money from someone else. No one has the right to control others by force, even if they claim to have the majority behind them.

SUMMARY:
All people are born free, created equal, and have individual rights. Individual rights cannot be given away or taken away. We can do as we please within our rights as long as we do not violate the rights of others. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your individual rights. Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, theft, and threats.
To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
