property, and a large portion of the wealth of the country exists in that form. Whatever impairs their value diminishes, therefore, the property of the owner; and if that be effected by direct legislative action operating upon the contract, forbidding its enforcement or transfer, or otherwise restricting its use, the owner is as much deprived of his property without due process of law as if the contract were impounded, or the value it

Franchises are the method of choice in a free society by which the innocent, the sinful, or the ignorant are cunningly snared, 9 abused and enslaved to the whims of civil rulers LAWFULLY. 10

Everything the government gives you or promises you, and which is commonly called a “benefit” is, in fact, a snare used to 25 entice you into servitude to them because everything they give you will always have strings attached. The snare is not 26 physical, but legal and contractual. The mechanism of the snare works as follows: 27

Catching Wild Pigs

28

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as

29

30

if his back hurt.

31

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his

32

33

country's government and install a new communist government.

34

In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how

35

to catch wild pigs?'

36

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start

38

39

40

41

42

to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

43

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage

44

45

in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

46

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as
