What a selfish lot.

I do agree with one thing ayn rand used to say... that libertarianism is just a fancy word for 'collectivist' anarchists lol

(37,648 posts)D + B also = C. She jumps from A + B = C, so X + B = C. X? There's no X in that equation.
If there were no govt, then people would all do good things all the time, including giving money to the govt voluntarily. HA! Does she know ANYTHING about history?
Even a small group of people living in a commune out in nowhere will have a govt of sorts, and their own version of laws and punishment, public policy, taxes for the commune's benefit, etc.

(20,453 posts)She appeared to think all you had to be (in order to success) is to conform to capitalism, regardless of sex.
Notice how a polite argument is met with aggressive idealism bullshit, all the while, collecting "entitlements".

(10,269 posts)The above poster is correct though, her logic fails her. An truly empowered Human knows full well that the only way to be REALLY safe from the worlds Tigers is to get together with the rest of the villagers and build a town fence. That we figured that out 30000 years ago is why we run the planet now, and NOT the Tigers.
The "smart" employer. LOL. She assumes that people are INHERENTLY driven by the better angels of their Nature (which, in other context, is an argument for a Creator God) and at same time claims that there is no such THING as a Nature that is either better OR worse.
Fool.

(1,936 posts)Unfortunately, The U.S. Constitution does not agree with her on the function of government.
1. Preamble
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
2. Taxing and Spending Clause
"All before, are calculated to regulate trade, and preserve or promote a mutually beneficial intercourse between the several constituent parts of the empire; and though many of them imposed duties on trade, yet those duties were always imposed with design to restrain the commerce of one part, that was injurious to another, and thus to promote the general welfare."
