1. “Can the world—its oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, continents, islands, or portions thereof, be rightfully treated by human legislators as the ‘private property’ of individuals?”
Ans. Certainly. Else would man be more wretched than the beasts, who at least have dens of their own.
2. “Should cost be the limit of price?”
Ans. It never was, and never can be. So we need not ask whether it should be.
3. “Can one man rightfully tax another man?”
Ans. By all means. Indeed, I have seldom heard of anybody who would tax himself.
4. “Can a million men rightfully tax other men?”
Ans. Certainly, when the other men are not strong enough to tax the million.
5. “Should not each adult inhabitant of a country (who performs service equivalent in value to his or her use of the service of other inhabitants) have electoral rights granted equal to those granted to any other inhabitant?”
Ans. Heaven forbid! It is not everybody one would set to choose a horse, or a pig. How much less a member of Parliament?
