I found a really neat short story online. It's a sci-fi from the early
1950s, in which some simple (seeming) farmers and other regular people make
jackasses out of the authoritarian would-be government, and they do this
without half trying. It's hilarious and it has a libertarian leaning.

It's not perfect... Very simplistic and maybe even a little naive, but a
nice read nonetheless.
