RE: New Libertarian Political Compass
Agreed. I want to choose to pay for it. I don't want to be forced to pay. I hate taxes. Sadly, many people feel and think and are too dependent on welfare and they are like babies that cannot live without training wheels. You would probably need to replace the government with people and groups that could come in and help those people maybe. I am not saying that we have to help some of the people who are too lazy to work, but we should consider what kind of crime they may do when they are without their precious welfare.
Yes, every government agency and program can be replaced with voluntary alternatives in the private sector.
@piedpiper, agreed, it can be replaced but that is still a process and a transition that takes time and training and everything and it is kind of tough to switch over.
People like your comments and not mine. That is bias. Everybody has bias. But I agreed with what you said. People do not understand what I am saying. We all see things through sunglasses.
Nah man, they say they're dependent but if the state dissolved, they'd adapt. barriers to entry would come crashing down and they could enter the marketplace and start grinding or they could leave town and start fresh like our ancestors. Don't mistake a leach for anything less than a highly evolved survivor. They just found out that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. They are keenly aware of how to sell emotional relief to their customers. In an open market, healthcare costs would be so low (like the way it was before big govt) and loans so reasonable that even if you gambled on it and didn't get insurance, you'd still be able to bounce back. And even then there'd still be some charity and family help. And as far as crime goes, First of all what you described is a shake down, its like paying them to not be criminals perverting the incentive. Secondly, when we're all packin heat and are an app away from rallying the neighborhood watch and alerting our insurers, desperation crime doesn't stand a chance. It would be far easier to go dumpster diving. You just sign a waiver proving you understand that the food you find isn't guaranteed to be fresh and pig out to your hearts content. I'm guessing you've never been poor before. It's not that scary. I try to make sure that I'm never more than a days march from unpaved rural terrain. I know I can scratch a living from the earth if need be. bums today with their $10 phones and over the counter vitamins are richer than all the kings of the ancient world combined. Don't let them have their way with your heart strings.
