Bastiat Pins and Buttons
Description: Frédéric Bastiat quote: Life, faculties, production — in other words, individuality, liberty, property — this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
Description: Here is a Frédéric Bastiat which is often co-opted by the so-called Libertarians, who ignore the fact that Bastiat is likely referring to bankers, their lobbyists and the political corruption their iniuitous existence proliferates. A free market cannot exist under a baking system. “When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” In white-colored Maiden Orange font, full canvas.
