Within Its Borders

August 15th, 2004

Jay comments on my thoughts on democracy: “I was referring to an idealized definition of democracy not one of any particular government. By this, I mean to suggest that I don't think non-taxpayers should be considered citizens, i.e. voters. Note, this does mean a citizen taxpayer can violate the natural rights of a non-citizen (an immigrant or non-taxpayer) because the role of government is to protect natural rights within its borders, not within its borders for its citizens.”
