His crime: not being regulated

His crime: not being regulated

The Columbus Dispatch has an article about Bob Munley, a truly evil criminal. His crime? Producing and bottling tea, unregulated and at home nonetheless. And, state regulators can’t have that. So much for Liberty. Any risk associated with his tea is accepted by the consumer. Funny, you can purchase and consume FDA-approved drugs that are lethal, yet woe to him who dares sell tea made at home. I don’t know about you, but I sure feel safer knowing that Munley is no longer selling his tea.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
