I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.

In a world of conventional confusion, there will be time for them to make profits.

Now's not that time.

Daddy, what do taxes pay for?

Oh, why everything?

Policemen, trees, sunshine.

And let's not forget the folks who just don't feel like working, God bless them.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of you, Dad.

Prepare to unshackle your mind.

An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army or any government.

Your professor has arrived.

Tom Woods.

Beware, citizen, you are now departing from the world of allowable opinion.

The Tom Woods Show. Welcome, everybody. It's Monday, March 10th,

2014. Just finished hosting the Peter Schiff Show. I'll be hosting again tomorrow. So check

that out live from 10 a.m. to noon eastern at shiftrady.com. I'll be taking your calls during that program as always.

Today it's a Po-Pourri show. We're going to talk about so-called austerity. Has it failed? Has it

even been tried? But we're also going to talk about the war on drugs and Obamacare with our old

friend Mark Thornton. Before we get to Mark, a quick reminder,

make sure you subscribe to this program. Don't just catch a fugitive episode here and there.

Make sure and subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher or anywhere else you like to get your podcasts.

You can find easy links to do that on the show site at tomwoodsradio.com.
