"The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. . . The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law."—Ayn Rand, "Galt's Speech," For the New Intellectual, p. 231 |
