Tax exempt is an excuse for greater government control


The wrong pronoun costs money

Radley Balko over at TheAgitator.com posted a link to this injustice.

Now the standard libertarian reaction is going to be "How DARE the Department of Transportation presume to enforce language? Isn't that just so much bureaucratic silliness?"

But that isn't what I want you to think about.

No, simply by becoming non-profit, the air ambulance accepted increased government authority over every action. If not today, then tomorrow.

In exchange for being excused from one law, they INVITED government control over everything else.

Even if the chains are gold plated, it's still tyranny. This should sound very familiar because the groundwork is being laid again. Feel that velvet glove and never notice the steel claw stripping the flesh off the bone.

The roots of this problem go clear back to the point where the air ambulance service chose to be tax exempt.

Exemption from the law is a slave brand. No matter how good it looks, the cost in freedom is far, far higher.
