     We are whisked from the hotel to the Dallas Convention Center by some polite, cheerful men in suits and greeted by more such men at several checkpoints going into the center.  This is not a place to try to invade.  Each of these men owns a business.  Don't mess with them.  Pilzer will be addressing a convention of Amway distributors in the organization of the legendary Dexter Yager, Yager Enterprises Inc.
     The Convention Center contains about 9,000 people, packed to the thin-air rafters.  They are neatly dressed folks, the men in shirtsleeves--focused, electrically charged.
     As Pilzer is introduced, a war whoop goes up to rock the stadium.  The announcer has stressed Pilzer's academic credentials and his sober testimony before Congress warning of the S&L crisis back in 1985.  This, apparently, is the cue for the neatly dressed people to stand on their chairs for an ovation as Pilzer jogs out and suns himself before the cheering, adoring crowd.  An economist?  He says some words of greeting as the throng calms down.

SOCIALIST THREAT
    
"Joseph Schumpeter, as you may remember..." Yes, he's launching right in with a discussion of Austrian economics.  At the end of World War II, Schumpeter predicted two things: Eastern Europeans would throw off Communism because they wanted decent consumer goods; meanwhile, the West would vote in socialism as those who produced wealth became envied within their societies.
     "If we can teach the truth about free enterprise to people," says Pilzer, "Schumpeter's second prediction never
 

  need come true.  But how could socialism ever happen here?  My Eastern European father told me a story that explains the danger:
     "Boris and Igor lived as serfs in Russia.  Each kept a goat.  Boris discovered he could get more milk and prosper by treating his goat better.  Pretty soon he could afford to fix the roof and buy his wife a new dress.
     "But Igor was jealous.  He prayed to his genie: 'I want you to kill Boris's goat.'  That's what's happening now, with the recent talk about more taxes for the rich."  Most of the audience isn't rich.  They want to be rich, and they don't want their gains taxed out from under them.  They intently scribble notes at their seats.

A BRIGHTER SCENARIO
     "Let me tell you another story that explains why the first story doesn't have to happen.  Ten men are living on an island, pulling fish out of the ocean with fishing lines to feed their families.  Then one day a missionary arrives, bringing a new piece of technology called a net.  Now two men can catch enough fish for everyone.  What happens?  Unemployment!  How much?"
     "Eighty percent!" a hundred voices in the crowd call back to Pilzer.
     "So someone gets the idea--let's tax the two guys with the nets 80 percent of their earnings.  Before you get shocked, you should know that's exactly what the free world did from 1930 until several years ago: Taxes were up to 91 percent on the people with nets.
     "But fortunately, someone on the island suggests that one of them become a school-teacher.  We'll even
