You attack the one man that wants to leave health care to the doctors, not the corporations.
"I don't see how you can't put too and too together."
It's TWO, not TOO.
Just doing my part to fight the Ron Paul R3tardation!
Maybe he's not so honest after all.
"Well sorry if tend to go into a rant"
Yeah, I've noticed that.
It's James Babb's video - let's get to the issue of why he's so reluctant to answer any of the ten simple questions I have for him in the video response.
Maybe he doesn't want voters to know what he really believes.
"why do you attack libertarians and not corporatists?"
Because Libertarians want to get rid of all corporate regulations, giving them the freedom to, for example, dump toxic waste onto corporate-owned land.
I believe that the burden of pollution clean up should fall on those that do the damage. If polluters were held financially responsible, they would develop clean processes out of self interest. Of course, the politicians would lose the ability to grant favors to their special interest masters, so it's a difficult position to enact into law. (continued)
When the state "owns" property, it is usually the worst polluted and depleted. (Google "tragedy of the commons") Private property is defended and preserved by the self interest of the owner.
I hope that answers your question.
Thanks again for your interest.
The questions are in the comments of the video I posted in response.
Be careful now - with the Ron Paul newsletter debacle still in progress, this isn't exactly the best time to be a Libertarian.
Yes, it is a tragedy that national forests are available for all citizens to enjoy.
The Libertarian solution? Privatize all forests so that logging companies - I mean, private entities - can use them for whatever purpose they see fit.
OK, so you're for the environment, good.
But selling off public property to the highest bidder (i.e. corporations) would give corporate entities the right to pollute the hell out of it.
For example, what would a Libertarian do to stop corporations from polluting their own land? Nothing, because it's their land, so they have the right to pollute it.
That's the problem with absolute property rights - it gives corporations the absolute right to pollute their own property.
Polluters aren't the only ones that can buy land. Consider the Audubon Society. They protect millions of acres and even make money from drilling in their wildlife sanctuaries. Do you think their members would allow this if it threatened the wildlife? Do politicians take as much care when they hand out drilling rights on government land?
Yes, Libertarians are the best defenders of the individual property owner's right to shoot anyone who sets foot on their front yard. How very noble!
Do us all a favor and shut the fuck up & go hide in your US Flag jammies & suck on your independent thumb while dreaming of fiscal responsibility while we set to work fixing all the damage that your fiscal responsibility nutjob ideology about has done to turn our country into a Hellish mess of uncared for sick children, ruined airlines & public transit systems, dead factories & falling bridges.
