This satirical petition from French candlemakers to their Chamber of Deputies humorously argues for the banning of sunlight to protect their industry. The petition uses the absurdity of this proposal to expose the flawed logic of protectionist trade policies. It highlights the inconsistency of protecting domestic industries from cheaper foreign goods while simultaneously accepting free natural resources like sunlight. The author, Frédéric Bastiat, uses this example to advocate for free trade principles, emphasizing the benefits of cheaper, even free, goods for consumers. Bastiat cleverly shows that restricting access to “free” goods like sunlight is as illogical as restricting access to cheaper foreign goods. The text ultimately champions free markets and the advantages of reduced prices. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

Leonard Read’s essay, “I, Pencil,” uses the seemingly simple object of a pencil to illustrate the complexities of free market production. It argues that no single person possesses the complete knowledge to create a pencil, but rather, the pencil’s creation arises from the spontaneous cooperation of countless individuals across the globe, each contributing specialized skills. This decentralized, collaborative process, guided by the “Invisible Hand” of the market, is presented as evidence of the power of free markets and individual liberty. Read contrasts this with government control, suggesting that centralized planning cannot replicate the efficiency and innovation of free enterprise. The essay concludes by advocating for uninhibited creative energies and faith in the capacity of free people to solve complex problems. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

Robert Murphy’s Chaos Theory presents a case for anarcho-capitalism, arguing that a stateless society using private institutions could effectively manage law and defense. The book’s core argument centers on voluntary contracts and market forces replacing government functions. Murphy emphasizes the role of private arbitration agencies, insurance companies, and competing defense firms in maintaining order and resolving disputes, even serious crimes. He counters common objections to this system, addressing concerns about enforcement, monopolies, and the handling of dangerous individuals. The text concludes by exploring applications of this model to various areas, including product safety and gun control. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

Frank Chodorov’s 1954 book, The Income Tax: Root of All Evil, argues that the Sixteenth Amendment, enabling federal income tax, fundamentally altered the United States, transforming it from a nation of free individuals to a centralized state. Chodorov contends that income tax facilitates government overreach, violating citizens’ property rights and fostering a culture of dependence. He traces this development through American history, highlighting the shift from limited government to a powerful, interventionist state. The book emphasizes the negative consequences of the ability-to-pay doctrine and the corrupting influence of tax collection. Ultimately, Chodorov advocates for the amendment’s repeal as a necessary step toward restoring traditional American freedom. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

These sources explore the Austrian School of economics’ critique of the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking. They argue that the current monetary system is inherently inflationary and prone to boom-and-bust cycles, harming the middle class and average citizens. The texts examine the historical development of banking and the role of entrepreneurship within a free market, contrasting it with the perceived manipulation of interest rates and money creation by central banks. Specific criticisms include the risks associated with stock market speculation and the dangers of inflation on savings. Several economists, such as Mises and Rothbard, are cited to support these arguments. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This text advocates for a program training financial professionals in Austrian economics and the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC). The program aims to combat the spread of socialism by empowering individuals with financial freedom through IBC, ultimately reaching a critical mass (10% of the US population) to shift societal ideology. The authors assert that this approach, unlike previous educational initiatives, provides a direct financial incentive for spreading this message, creating an “evangelistic explosion” of free-market principles. Their argument relies on Adam Smith’s concept of the “invisible hand” and cites research supporting the attainability of this goal. The text concludes with a mathematical demonstration illustrating the potential reach of this strategy. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The program uses historical examples, such as the early development of the United States and contemporary Hong Kong, to illustrate the benefits of economic freedom. The discussion includes contrasting viewpoints on the balance between individual liberty and government regulation. Participants debate whether a completely free market is desirable or even feasible in the modern era, considering both the successes and potential downsides. Specifically, the discussion touches on historical government interventions such as tariffs and land grants and their impact on economic growth and social progress. The program concludes with a call to rediscover the principles of economic freedom and their importance in preserving personal liberty. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This YouTube transcript features Edward Griffin discussing his book, “The Creature from Jekyll Island,” which alleges the Federal Reserve System was secretly created by a cartel of powerful bankers in 1910. Griffin argues the Fed’s true objective is not economic stability, but rather to consolidate power and wealth by manipulating the money supply and fostering inflation, effectively taxing the public while enriching the banking cartel. He details a supposed “mandrake mechanism” by which money is created out of nothing, leading to inflation and ultimately, the transfer of wealth from the public to the elite. Griffin advocates for the Fed’s abolition to restore economic fairness and curtail the concentration of power. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

Robert Murphy’s article argues that the impending Social Security crisis can be mitigated by allowing Americans to opt out of the system. His proposal suggests individuals could opt out if they represent a net liability to Social Security, potentially improving government finances and offering better investment returns for participants. Murphy acknowledges potential complications, such as impacts on wages and tax revenue, but contends that these are manageable and outweighed by the benefits. A related article by Kevin Murphy and Jeffrey Miron disputes the idea that privatization will improve Social Security’s financial health, instead focusing on the long-term financial challenges posed by the aging population. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This legal document analyzes state sales tax laws, arguing that sales tax is an excise tax levied on the privilege of selling at retail, a privilege not afforded private citizens. The text asserts that the tax applies to “persons,” which are defined as legal fictions (corporations, etc.) or individuals acting on behalf of these entities or under agreements with the state. It emphasizes that private citizens engaging in personal transactions are not subject to sales tax due to their inalienable rights.

This legal analysis argues that the INS Form I-9, purportedly mandating employment eligibility verification, is inapplicable to private sector employers in U.S. states. The argument centers on statutory interpretation of Title 8 of the U.S. Code, which focuses on aliens and nationality, finding that the law’s scope is limited to governmental entities and not private citizens. Relevant Supreme Court case law is cited to support the claim that employment is an inalienable right. The text further explains that even if applicable, the law requires “knowing” hiring of unauthorized aliens, and the I-9 serves only as an affirmative defense for employers, not a mandatory requirement. Finally, the analysis concludes that private sector employers in U.S. states are not legally obligated to use Form I-9. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This legal analysis examines the constitutional basis of 18 U.S. Code, Chapter 44 (the Federal Firearms Act). It argues that the Act’s jurisdiction is deceptively limited, relying on the federal government’s authority over federal territories rather than broad interstate commerce powers. The author claims that changes in the Act’s codification and wording obscure its true scope, intentionally concealing its limitations on federal power. Furthermore, it alleges that certain provisions, although not explicitly repealed, are no longer readily available in published legal codes, hindering public understanding and potentially leading to unfair prosecutions. The ultimate goal is to expose this alleged legal subterfuge, potentially benefiting the firearms industry and American citizens. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This document argues that the IRS’s authority to conduct widespread tax investigations is legally questionable. The author contends that while the President delegated the power to establish internal revenue districts to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary only defined these districts as limited to customs areas, based on analysis of relevant legal documents, including Executive Order 10289 and the Code of Federal Regulations. This significantly restricts the IRS’s reach beyond customs-related tax matters. The author points out that the executive orders and Treasury orders defining these districts appear to have been rescinded, raising further questions about the IRS’s current authority.

This legal document analyzes federal employment taxes, arguing that Subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), while seemingly imposing taxes on all employers and employees, primarily targets government entities and their workers. The text asserts that Chapter 24, concerning withholding, doesn’t actually impose a tax but rather authorizes withholding of Subtitle A taxes, which are only applicable to those with existing tax liability through contracts with the federal government. Finally, the document suggests that many individuals and businesses unintentionally subject themselves to these taxes by providing their Social Security Numbers (SSNs), creating a legal presumption of tax liability. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

The text examines the legal definition of “Willful Failure to File” (26 U.S. Code § 7203), arguing that the IRS and media use fear-mongering to pressure tax filing. It asserts that the actual definition of “person” within the statute (26 U.S. Code § 7343) limits prosecution to corporate officers or partnership members with specific duties related to tax compliance. The author suggests that ordinary citizens are wrongly prosecuted under this charge because they are not included in the legal definition of “person” as it applies to tax law. The text uses examples to illustrate how the definition of “includes” in the tax code creates a narrow category of individuals subject to the charge. Finally, the text concludes that many individuals have been unjustly imprisoned under §7203. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc

This text argues that the U.S. federal income tax system is unconstitutionally applied, primarily targeting non-citizens. It claims that the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) applies only to “taxpayers,” defined as those subject to internal revenue taxes, and that most Americans are not subject to these taxes. The document asserts that “income tax” encompasses various taxes, including employment and excise taxes, and that “income tax” under Subtitle A of the IRC only applies to specific forms of income, such as corporate dividends, not ordinary compensation. It contends that providing a tax identification number implies tax liability and that citizens have the right to refuse if they believe a transaction is not taxable. Finally, it alleges that companies improperly demand tax identification numbers due to ignorance or fear, and encourages readers to spread awareness of these claims. https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc
