Brian Storm consulted with an investment advisor and attorney to set up the financial structure that would fund the World Freedom Foundation. Brian initially put in one million dollars to establish the Foundation. Over the next three months he added nine million dollars. The Foundation officially began with ten million dollars, all of which would remain in the financial structure except for interest earned. Since it was generating ten-percent interest, Christie Bridges had one million dollars to spend each year on salaries and overhead expenses. She had a beautiful new office built in Arizona, which would be the headquarters for the World Freedom Foundation.

Christie hired a small staff to write, lecture, promote, and assist in running the Foundation. Bill Warner also did some writing for the Foundation. Christie was now able to publish numerous books and tapes about liberty and put them on the Internet, in libraries, and in bookstores. She also toured the world to give lectures. She lectured on college campuses, at bookstores, to corporate executives, and at banquets. Christie loved her life because everyday she did what she enjoyed doing: teaching people about individual liberty.

One evening while lecturing to a group of businesspeople, Christie discussed the proper role of government. She then made connections between a proper government and the elimination of politicians.

Christie said, "The sole purpose of government is to protect individual rights—to protect each citizen’s person, property, and contractual agreements. The notion that government should provide services beyond the realm of protection is erroneous."

"Simply put, government that only protects each individual’s person and property is moral. Government that initiates force or coercive threats against any individual is immoral. Human beings need government for bodily and property protection. That’s the only reason they need government. Governments that extend beyond the scope of bodily and property protection cause chaos and invariably destroy their countries. History is filled with examples."

"Of course, in today’s world, all governments go beyond protection. They encroach upon their citizens’ freedom to the point where government itself violates objective laws and individual rights. This is a tragedy, but it’s not surprising in our irrational world. For example, the least destructive of all governments throughout history—the United States government—has expanded beyond protection by getting involved in education, health care, banking, communications, and more. In reality, these areas are beyond the realm of a proper government."

"Even worse than governments that expand beyond bodily-and-property protection is when governments destroy their own citizens. Consider the following analogy: the human body has a protective system whose function it is to protect the body from deadly agents and disease. That system exists to serve the human organism, not destroy it. If this protective system begins to attack the human organism, then it has gone awry. The system switches from being a protective agent to a harmful agent."

"In a similar way, government exists to protect the individual. When government threatens or attacks innocent individuals, it has gone awry. It switches from a protective agent to a harmful agent."

"Today, American government threatens and attacks innocent individuals. Bureaucracies epitomized by the DEA and IRS initiate force and threats against innocent citizens. All current governments use parasitical laws to undercut objective laws.

"The key is to delimit government to the sole function of protection. That protection comes through a national defense, local police forces, and courts of law. Everything else is outside the realm of a proper government. When we delimit government to bodily-and-property protection, opportunities for prosperity will burgeon for everyone."

"As for politicians, they’ve led human beings throughout history and they rule our world today. Those most skilled in the use of pragmatism rise to the top of society to rule everyone. People with little regard for honesty and the value of the individual succeed in current politics. But, upon the elimination of irrationality in our nascent world, the professional politician will become extinct."

"As objective law replaces subjective law and individual rights replace group rights, the irrational elements in our world will fade. This shift will result in the rise of the sovereign individual: an individual whose person and property cannot be violated by anyone or by any government."

"The supremacy of individual rights will usher in a rational civilization. That, in turn, will cause governments to shrink in size and scope to serve their purpose of protection only. Governments will not be able to initiate force or threats against their citizenry. Constitutionally-guaranteed individual rights will protect each citizen from any predatory person or group—including any government or religion."

"In such a world—a world where no one can profit from initiating force or fraud—things will be different. Governments will not get involved in every aspect of the citizen’s life as happens in socialist and communist countries. Instead, governments will become market-driven protectors of each citizen’s person and property. All other government activities will either vanish or be absorbed by the free-market."

"This means that in a rational civilization, professional parasites, manipulators, and destroyers cannot survive. Only honest, productive people can exist in a rational civilization. The professional politician—who produces no values, but regulates and drains values—has no way of surviving in a rational civilization. The idea of building a career based on restricting and draining productive individuals will be forgotten."

"Thus, the professional politician will cease to exist in the forthcoming rational world. Who will run the government without politicians? Market-driven businesspeople will run the government. Those people who are integrated with a financial bottom line and the discipline of business will deliver competitive protective services. Professional politicians who prosper not from producing values but from draining values will be unknown. Such a mode of living is uncompetitive in a world filled with producers who enjoy genuine power, wealth, and romance. Thank you."

The audience burst into applause. Christie surveyed the crowd and saw almost everyone clapping. This astonished her because years ago a similar talk would have triggered intense hostility. Christie knew that people’s attitude was shifting toward freedom. She believed complete freedom was near.
