Glenn Jacobs quotes

The whole idea, the whole premise of taxation needs to be examined. It's based on theft. (Glenn Jacobs)

Once you come across Rothbard, it's all over with. The arguments he makes are so logical and they're so faultless that you really can't disagree with him.

Glenn Jacobs

Then I realised that it really is a philosophy that we're talking about, you know-the nonaggression axiom, that the government should be bound by the same moral laws that the rest of us are. Once you realise that, you're like, "Oh!" Your entire world opens up, and then your entire paradigm changes.

Glenn Jacobs

The great thing about libertarianism is [that] it really is the American Dream-it is the ability of everybody to live their life, to build their life, according to what they want so long as you don't hurt anybody else.

Glenn Jacobs

He has made more people realise that they're libertarians perhaps than anyone in history with the Ron Paul Revolution and all of the things that it launched.

Glenn Jacobs

I think libertarianism does appeal to most people because that's how we lead our lives until the state gets involved. We lead our lives in voluntary interactions with other folks, and we follow what libertarians call the nonaggression axiom which means you're not supposed to initiate force against someone else except, of course, in defence of your own liberty or property. So that's something that's the Golden Rule, and that's something we can all relate to.

Glenn Jacobs

There have been many [libertarian writers who have inspired me]: Milton Friedman, Murray Rothbard-just-just a number of people who have influenced me-Mary Ruwart, Harry Browne who ran for president as a Libertarian a couple times-so there've been a number of people.

Glenn Jacobs

The Republican Party stands for individual liberty and free markets; its the party of growth, its the part of economic opportunity, those are things that benefit everyone. That's how we need to grow this party, by ensuring that those are the ideas that we are spreading.

Glenn Jacobs

Keynesian economics is really just models and numbers and how things would work in a laboratory, not how things work in the real world.

Glenn Jacobs

I think, as a society, though, I think more and more people are starting to question this idea that the government can do anything, [that] it has some sort of magical power to solve all of the problems; in fact, I think more and more people are coming to the conclusion that government is the problem.

Glenn Jacobs

I think nullification would be a very good thing. (Glenn Jacobs)

Any tax rate is actually overtaxation.

Glenn Jacobs

There is no way to sort-of compartmentalise human liberty into "okay, I have social liberty and I have economic freedom." No, they're the same thing. You have- If you don't have economic freedom, you don't have personal liberty, and vice versa, if you don't have personal liberty, you don't have economic freedom, either.

Glenn Jacobs

What is it-medieval serfs paid about twenty-five percent of their crops to the estate lord, to the manor lord, and Americans are paying fifty percent in taxes by the time you figure out income tax and then all the various state and local taxes, and, to think we're not, y'know, overtaxed is insane.

Glenn Jacobs

What happens if that big [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_wall_(politics)#Red_wall red wall] is ever breached? If it is, our state and our country will fundamentally change and we can never, ever let that happen. The Republican Party must remain a bulwark against European democratic socialism which unfortunately the Democratic Party has become. In order top do that we have to grow our party, and we have to grow it among young people and among minorities, we have to become more inclusive, but what I mean by that is we do not abandon our ideas, we need to stand even more firm.
