A few quotes:

Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property"
Ayn Rand

"No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent"
John Jay
This is truly a say day for those of us who cherish freedom and realize that vigourously guarded property rights are essential for the endurance of our Republic. May God bless us, we're going to need it.
