Douglas Casey is a multi-millionaire investor with his head screwed on straight…
His newsletter is a great read for life philosophy, investment, and broad market trend insights.
Here’s what Casey said about ‘rights’ (can you see the implications for the future of Business and Government?)
[In terms of morality]… groups of people can have no rights that the individuals who compose the group don’t have.
In other words, if an individual does not have a right to do something himself, then neither can he delegate that right to a politician, policeman, nor some other authority.
If it’s not his to give, he can’t give it.
If I don’t have the right to take money by force from my neighbor, I don’t gain that right by teaming up with others.
A bunch of people voting for it doesn’t make it any more right.
Suppose, for instance, a neighborhood voted to hire a motorcycle gang to defend it and “authorized†that gang to levy taxes by force…
…including on residents who didn’t want to go along with the plan.
Most people would say that’s wrong.But somehow, if the government does exactly the same thing, people see it as okay.
There’s no difference in this instance, morally, between the motorcycle gang and the government.
Of course, this calls to question the legitimacy of the state itself.

The right to regulate economies and lives?
I think not.
As strange as it may seem, every New Professional must stand against political agenda regulations of our careers, businesses and lives…
For business is capitalist, and today´s governments are increasingly socialist.
