Coulter is right that as long as we socialize the costs of bad behavior we must accept some regulation. I don’t like the Libertarian label much because they do seem to associate too much with themes like freedom to drug, abort and do whatever you want. I like to start from a non-coercion principle instead and apply it across the board. I don’t think we should be able to tell someone they can’t smoke pot or else we’ll jail them, shoot them, etc. But I don’t think if they sit around high all day they should be able to tax me or else jail me, shoot me, etc., so they can get food stamps, health care etc. In such a free market, bad behavior would be self limiting because of the costs. And under true freedom and justice people would behave better.
Interesting. It’s the (L) party itself that would abolish forced ‘tithing’ to gov’t in the name of ‘charity’
Has it not been the GOP and the pointy talking heads that are not espousing ‘restructuring’ and ‘saving’ SS/Medicare/etc.? How many more weeks of unemployment will they all bump it up? Wait for the min. wage battle to begin!
It is not the (L) party that says controlled borders and no welfare state = open, free flow of people who WANT to come. Let alone terminate all foreign aide.
Again, has it not been the GOP, in behind the scenes (so they don’t have to explain to their own constituents/base) pushing for ANOTHER amnesty? Haven’t they blown enough smoke about ‘securing’ the same? Did they stop the visas from the Middle East after 9/11? Stopped funding those that actively try to kill us??
