We do not want America to deteriorate to the miserable level of Greece. Civil society was shocked by the brutality and stupidity of October-18 fiasco, initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the government of Greece. That's why October-18 Mafia is the new name of the government of Greece! Should the city of Atlanta be allowed to create a single street vending monopoly that forces existing vendors to start paying up to $20,000 in rent and fees every year?
That is the question to be answered by a major lawsuit filed today by the Institute for Justice (IJ) — a national civil liberties law firm—and two well-known Atlanta vending entrepreneurs: Larry Miller and Stanley Hambrick.
Atlanta wants to copy the Greek licensure! But all licenses of October-18 Mafia should be abolished, including doctors, lawyers, and marriage. October-18 Mafia licensure is an immoral exercise of force, an overly burdensome restraint on trade, a violation of the right to liberty, a mill of kickbacks. Government is a guarantor of liberty and is compatible with liberty only if its range is adequately restricted to the preservation of economic freedom. One of the many reasons why October-18 Mafia licensure is incompatible with liberty, therefore, is because it is destructive to economic freedom. No other nation demands more licenses than the Cradle of Kleptocracy. http://venitism.blogspot.com
The lawsuit continue IJ's National Street Vending Initiative, a nationwide effort to vindicate the right of street vendors to earn an honest living. Earlier this year, El Paso, Texas, repealed its protectionist vending regulations in response to an IJ lawsuit.
Practiced since ancient times, street vending is more popular than ever. Some of the best food Americans eat may come from a food truck. For generations, street vending has been a classic way for entrepreneurs to provide for themselves and their families while creating jobs and satisfying customer demands. http://venitism.blogspot.com
But two years ago, Atlanta handed over all public-property vending to a single company — the first program of its kind in the country. Now that company wants to throw Larry Miller and Stanley Hambrick out of the spots they have worked for over a decade to build kiosks that rent for almost $20,000 a year. If it succeeds, Larry and Stanley's businesses will be destroyed.
"Atlanta has the worst vending laws in the entire country," said IJ Staff Attorney Robert Frommer, lead counsel in today's lawsuit. "Atlanta should be encouraging entrepreneurship in these tough economic times, but Atlanta's vending monopoly stifles the economic growth that the city desperately needs."
Atlanta emulates the October-18 Mafia! Any Greek has the natural right to pursue any means of providing for his family, so long as in doing so he does not act fraudulently or otherwise violate the rights of others. The October-18 Mafia mandated license turns the market of the Cradle of Kleptocracy upside down. It prohibits every Greek from producing in a given industry except for those who are granted the privilege of doing so by the October-18 Mafia, especially those who provide huge kickbacks to kleptocrats. The October-18 Mafia, in such a scenario, absorbs all individual rights unto itself and then divvies up some of those rights in any number of ways.
Under the licensing system of October-18 Mafia, such as it exists today in the Cradle of Kleptocracy, if some Greek attempts to exercise his natural right to provide for himself without the October-18 Mafia 's nod of approval, which usually comes with kickbacks, that person goes to jail. Imprisonment for supporting oneself in an honest and non-fraudulent manner which does not infringe on the rights of others just doesn't seem right. Preemptive protection is offensive in nature, and therefore, is itself a violation of natural rights. In a free society, it is only after fraud or another violation of rights takes place that the state has the right to intervene on behalf of the consumer.
By means of the licensure power, October-18 Mafia can permit a Greek to eat or it can condemn him to starve, unless he gives kickbacks to kleptocrats. So long as the October-18 Mafia has the power to issue licenses to live in the Cradle of Kleptocracy, Greeks cannot claim to be free, and living without freedom is not much of a life. Fortunately, Greeks still have a license to kill unsound and coercive October-18 Mafia measures during elections, so let Greeks use that license to regain their right to live with their votes.
