redistribution of wealth is not wrong: Libertarians argue as if it was self-evidently wrong, to steal the legitimately owned property of the rich, and give it to the poor. But it's not wrong, not wrong at all. Redistribution of wealth is inherently good: in fact, it is a moral obligation of the state. Excessive wealth is there to be redistributed: the only issue is what is 'excessive'. And of course this is coercion, and of course Bill Gates would scream 'Tyranny!' if the government gave his money to the poor of Africa. But it's still not wrong, not wrong at all. THIS....?? This is the critique you think so highly of?
What a bunch of socialistic drivel.

When did I say I thought so highly of it? I disagree with a large portion of the post. I do however find most of his observations about Libertarians to be fairly accurate. Just calm down, and stop assuming so much. Ask me if you want to know what I agree with. People post things all the time that they may not necessarily agree with completely.
