“Statism is a system of institutionalized violence and perpetual civil war. It leaves men no choice but to fight to seize political power — to rob or be robbed, to kill or be killed. … Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.” —Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
Not sure this one is even close to being true. Maybe LA county has more than a number of single, and perhaps a few multiple, states, but I really don't believe it has more than all of those states combined.
Maybe badly worded, but that is not what is being said here. It is in reference to individual states not the collective.
