Our social contract in the USA is one of the nice, voluntary contracts that libertarians should like.
I'll pay money for someone to wade through and refute his arguments point-by-point.
Quote WHAT IS LIBERTARIANISM? |
Quote Libertarians are a small group whose beliefs are unknown to and not accepted by the vast majority. |
Quote They are utopian because there has never yet been a libertarian society (though one or two have come close to some libertarian ideas.) |
Quote Why should I accept that "right" as a given? |
Quote Is that a fact around the world, not just in the US? |
Quote Are there counter examples for that idea? |
Quote Are libertarians serving their own class interest only? |
Quote 1. The original intent of the founders has been perverted |
Some libertarians make a big deal about needing to actually sign a contract. Take them to a restaurant and see if they think it ethical to walk out without paying because they didn't sign anything. Even if it is a restaurant with a minimum charge and they haven't ordered anything. The restaurant gets to set the price and the method of contract so that even your presence creates a debt. What is a libertarian going to do about that? Create a regulation?This doesn't even make sense. This guy doesn't see the difference between entering a restaurant (by choice) and being born on a certain spot on the world.
