No corporations limited!  You'll have to abolish the middle class to
put this one over.

From 1789 to the present, federalism grew by demand of the merchants.
No interstate tariffs!  Uniform currency!  Corporations limited!
Transcontinental railways!  Whether it increased personal liberty or
diminished it, business demanded it and got it.

By the way, I foresee a conflict between the libertarians and the
gold-backers.  If all debts must be paid - in gold - what happens
if the price of gold drops?  (REAL libertarians don't use money -
they barter!)
