Thank you FEE, Laissez Faire Books and Jeffrey Tucker.
Going to distribute these to some Econ majors at my alma mater.
I think FEE still has a ton of books avaliable that they will send you for free to distribute to colleges and universities. Contact them for more info.

The real theory of trickle down is actually advocated by the interventionists and socialists. They think that if we tax everyone and give money to the government, it will eventually come trickling down to the middle class and the poor. Same with power. If we give more power to the state to regulate and run our lives, this power will trickle down to the rest of us.
But if you want to talk of implausible theories, this is surely it. Government’s power and money doesn’t trickle down. It takes money and pours it into ever more bureaucracy and gives it to the elites. Its power grows and grows at the expense of society. This is the experience of the whole of human history.

“To all people who are sending me evidence of Rand Paul’s various heresies, you can save your bandwidth. I’m not interested in saint making or witch burning. I’m only interested in one thing: progressive reductions of the role of all government power in people’s lives all the way to zero if possible. Whatever brings that about, in whatever sector it happens, and whether it happens slowly by steps or all in one fell swoop, I’m for it. I really don’t care who or what makes a contribution to this end or how it comes about, so long as it is ethical and it actually achieves the aim of human liberation, the mother of all progress, order, and higher civilization.” - Jeffrey ‘BAMF’ Tucker.
I apply this same principle to voting. Many libertarians, voluntaryists and anarchists are completely against voting. To me, if you are continually voting to abolish the state, I’m all for it.
Like I said, my Spirit Animal.

I really do enjoy following Jeffrey Tucker. He’s always on point. And sassy as fuck.
Always sassy as fuck.
Jeffrey Tucker finally found an appealing way to get liberals to side with gun ownership.

SugaShane: The Constitution is just a piece of paper. Essentially cataloging, not guaranteeing, freedoms and liberties. Sure, it’s a wonderful document but it has no power outside of educating and inspiring.
The real power of the Constitution comes from it empowering the people. And that’s the key; the people.
The Constitution didn’t fail, it can’t fail in the same way that it can’t succeed. What failed us is ourselves. We can’t even blame government because government was supposed to fail us, hence the reason the Constitution was drafted in the first place. It’s the people who fail themselves and forget to stay vigilant.
The same failure would be possible even in a world that lacked government. If the people don’t stay vigilant, organizations will form and they will take over and they will, eventually or perhaps even quickly, form government-like power structures used for oppression and violence.
The process is rendered more difficult without the existence of a governmental structure, but the threat is always there.
