Government will mandate that your children be left vulnerable like fish in a barrel in their school; hold you down outside while they are murdered, and then blame you for owning a rifle. —Spike Cohen

There are only a few things more dishonorable than misleading the young. —Thomas Sowell
- Secede from intellectual isolation. Talk to friends, family, and neighbors to spread liberty.
- Secede from dependency. Become self-sufficient with regards to food, water, fuel, cash, firearms, and physical security.
- Secede from mainstream media. Ditch cable, ditch CNN, and ditch the major newspapers.
- Secede from state control of your children by homeschooling or unschooling them.
- Secede from college by rejecting mainstream academia and its student loan trap.
- Secede from the US dollar by owning physical precious metals, by owning assets denominated in foreign currencies, and by owning assets abroad.
- Secede from the federal tax and regulatory regimes. Be as tax efficient as possible.
- Secede from the legal system by legally protecting your assets from probate courts.
- Secede from the state healthcare racket by taking control of your health, and questioning medical orthodoxy.
- Secede from your state by moving to another with a better tax and regulatory environment.
- Secede from political uncertainly in the US by obtaining a second passport; or secede from the US altogether by expatriating.
- Most of all, secede from the mindset that government is all-powerful or too formidable an opponent to be overcome.
All of us can play a role in a bottom-up revolution by doing everything in our power to withdraw our consent from the state. —Jeff Deist

As far back as 1969, academic women who never married earned more than academic men who never married. A study from 2005 showed that among college-educated, never-married individuals with no children who worked full-time and were from 40 to 64 years old—that is, beyond the child-bearing years—men averaged $40,000 a year in income, while women averaged $47,000. The most important reason why women earn less than men is not that they are paid less for doing the very same work but that they are distributed differently among jobs and have fewer hours and less continuity in the labor force. —Thomas Sowell
Those of us who homeschooled our kids prior to the school shutdowns were quick to point out that pandemic homeschooling was nothing like the real thing. Despite this inauspicious introduction to homeschooling, millions of parents and students discovered that learning without schooling is not only possible but preferable. —Kerry McDonald
It isn’t a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. If the government’s propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus — they’ll fasten the chains to their own ankles. —Lew Rockwell
In government, the worse an agency performs, the more money it can claim from a legislature. If state-run schools fail to educate children, then obviously they need more money… If the welfare state fails to reduce, or actually increases, poverty then obviously, say the bureaucrats, we need to expand welfare programs even further. —Thomas DiLorenzo, The Problem with Socialism
If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds, its policies would most definitely reflect the legitimate concerns of children to have adequate and equal access to free french fries, lemonade and videos. —Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Democracy the God that Failed
Government handouts actually perpetuate poverty by creating a culture of dependency. As welfare policy expert Robert Rector put it: The welfare system that has existed for the past thirty years may best be conceptualized as a system that offered each single mother with two children a “paycheck” of combined benefits worth an average of between $8,500 and $15,000, depending on the state. The mother had a contract with the government. She would continue to receive her “paycheck” as long as she fulfilled two conditions: 1. She must not work. 2. She must not marry an employed male.
Walter Williams: The greatest percentage of poverty is found in female-headed households. Over 70 percent of female-headed households are poor. A large percentage of poor people are children (17 percent); fully 85 percent of black children living in poverty reside in a female-headed household.
