Do No Harm

"They did not harm me."
--Leroy Green (The Last Dragon)

Saw this tweet from Rand Paul this am:

First, politics in general: As a Doctor, I was trained first to do no harm. Wouldn't it be nice if politicians started from that premise?

We've noted similar on these pages. Because government is legitimized force, any political action should not be preceded by asking "Who will be helped?"

The question should be "Who will be hurt?"
