Walter Williams: Excising and Smuggling

Shortly after my last rant I had an opportunity to read Walter Williams latest article at Front Page Mag--Excising and Smuggling.

Tell me what's wrong in people wanting to wear a Swiss watch, have a drink, purchase tea from a Dutch rather than an English seller or cheap cigarettes from North Carolina rather than expensive ones from New York. People in government or those in pursuit of a do-good agenda think they know better and think they have a right to use government's brute force to hinder peaceable voluntary exchange.
