According to Hamburger, these conditions violate constitutional rights, with little to no recourse for Americans. Such conditions include, for instance, requiring states to set a minimum drinking age of 21 to receive highway funding requiring university research involving human subjects to be approved by institutional review boards and prohibiting organizations that have 501(c)(3) tax status from political campaigning. Hamburger explores federally mandated “conditions” - that is to say, requirements imposed by the United States government on people and organizations in exchange for funding or other privileges. He quotes Philip Hamburger, a professor at Columbia Law School who wrote Purchasing Submission: Conditions, Power, and Freedom in 2021. George Leef who writes regularly for the National Review’s states, that “The tentacles of federal power over the states, localities, and private institutions have been reaching further and further. How Governments are Purchasing Submission with Interventions, Money, and Fear Monthly Market Commentary: January 1, 2022įriedrich von Hayek who maintained that, “ economic planning, regulation, and intervention pave the way to totalitarianism by building a power structure that will inevitably be seized by the most power-hungry and unscrupulous.” Looking at current leaders in our Western democracies, it seems to me that Hayek forgot to add to seizing power by “the most power-hungry and unscrupulous,” also the “most incompetent.”
