Larry Reed took over FEE and has been putting his stamp on it. In this Reason.TV interview, Larry discusses the 3 lessons of the freedom philosophy that we are in 2009 in danger of forgetting. Roughly stated they are:

1. Government can provide you with absolutely nothing except that which it has first taken from somebody else.

2. A government big enough to give you want you want, is big enough to take everything you have.

3. A free people are not economically equal, and an economically equal people are not free.
