Libertarianism and Foreign wars are Incompatible
I read through quite a few of the "libertarian" profiles on here and i kept seeing a disturbing trend of libertarians being in favor of war. War anywhere outside of your own country is inconsistent with a belief in small government. All foreign wars, without exception have expanded the size and power of government. Wars are also one of the most expensive endeavors. Now plenty of people think that the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the possibility of one in Iran are not huge expansions of gove...
Government welfare doesn't help the poor.
A system of government welfare creates a system of dependency, and destroys poor people's incentives to move up in life. If people are in desperate need of charity then the government is not the solution. The dependency is shown by the government's own data, and is documented by the heritage institute here: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/cda06-11.cfm The incentives to move up in life are destroyed...as the more you earn the less you earn in welfare and the harder it becomes to sur...
'Nothing' exists.
What is 'nothing'? My personal definition is "the absence of an object or person that is not present on/around/below/etc. an object, person, or other physical matter." The argument here is not 'Nothing exists? Everything is existing right now!' My argument is that the idea and "matter" of 'nothing' can exist. The absence of something can exist. Prove me wrong....
War in libertarianism
I dont see how a ron paul supporter, or a libertarian can be for the war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, a War in Iran, and the war in Afganistan. (if i read your profile wrong just ignore this) Can you reconcile war with a libertarian philosophy?...
Full Drug Legalization
Drug prohibition has been a horrible failure, just like its historic counterpart alcohol prohibition. The war on drugs has increased crime, stressed our justice system to the breaking system, filled up our prisons with nonviolent criminals, cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and done nothing to impact the availability of drugs....
The police force is only around due to human stupidity.
Anyone can fall down a flight of stairs and break a wrist, thus the need for on public service: health care. As well, any stray spark form a number of sources can cause a fire, thus the need for the second utility: fire control. However, it is a person's choice to steal a TV. It is a person's choice to take a knife and stab someone. It is a person's choice to kidnap a girl and rape her. Thus, the police force is only around to manage mankind's inner corruptness and evil. It is therefore the one...
Implementing Universal Health Care is a Bad Idea
Our current health care system is messed up, but UHC is not the solution. A universal health care system would destroy the incentives of patients and doctors to try and lower prices. A UHC system would cause unnecessary corruption, and bureaucracy at the taxpayer's expense. A UHC system greatly reduces a patient's ability to choose their doctor. There is no evidence to suggest that UHC lowers medical prices, and most European nations with these systems merely transfer the costs to taxpayers....
