“Mine is an “isolationist” position only to those who believe that the world’s peoples can interact with each other only through their governments, or only through the intermediary of a supranational bureaucracy.  That unspoken assumption is dangerous and dehumanizing.  There is nothing isolationist about opposing coercive government-to-government wealth transfers.  Individuals who wish to contribute directly to some worthy cause abroad- and Third World governments whose destructive policies have kept their peoples in miserable poverty are not such a cause - should be perfectly at liberty to do so.  In fact, a recent Hudson Institute study found that in 2006, American citizens voluntarily contributed three times more to help people overseas than did the United States government.  Freedom works.” -Page 102 of The Revolution, A Manifesto
