Here’s how to get Leviathan to finance the defeat of Leviathan. (I’m reminded by the Couch Potato Entitlement editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal.) When you convert your analog TVs to digital, don’t turn down your $40 coupon(s) on the principle that the government has no business subsidizing private entertainment. You’ll never beat the welfare-police state that way.
No, you should use those coupons. But money is fungible. Immediately send an equivalent $40 (or $80) to defeat the members of Congress who voted for this program.
You could give the money to the Cato Institute, or to the Club for Growth. Or you could send it as a direct contribution to some member of Congress who voted against this subsidity — to your own Congressperson, if you’re that lucky. (I’ll try to find a list.)
One more thing is important. Be sure to let it be known what you’ve done with the money. Tell your Congresspeople. Tell about it on your blogs. Write a letter to the editor. And tell the recipient.
I should warn you that hell hath no fury like that of a welfare pimp towards a recipient who is not properly grateful for government subsidies. Look at how they’ve treated Clarence Thomas. But that’s how you know that this is one of the most effective means of opposing them.
