So this guy is arguing we should do away with license plates and car registrations in the name of freedom?

I don’t get it.

I’m one conservative who believes licensing all vehicles using public roads IS a LEGITIMATE duty of the State.

Licensing, vehicle registration and inspection help protect EVERYONE who travels, which is, really, everyone. Government use of tax dollars can only be justly used to the benefit of all, IMHO, and safety, and crime prevention (through registration) on the road is certainly one area benefiting all.

This kind of radical libertarian thinking gives conservatives a bad name, IMHO.

Thanks for yelling, it doesn’t add one iota of gravitas to your ARGUMENT. I immediately ignore such posts, so have a nice day!

Then why are farm vehicles expempted from registration and licensing? A 12 year old driving a tractor is legal on most roads in the US.

Government can't insure safety, or prevent crime. Government can only enforce torts, or prosecute people that commit crimes.

Government doesn't need to be involved in prevention. That's open ended forever.
