Employers don't dictate wages. They are bid up to that level based on your skills and how many employers are competing for them. Then you decide who to go with.
Government takes money by force, most of which is wasted on nonsense and doesn't come back to you in the form of services. If you...
Anatomically, though, there is virtually no difference between a newly born baby and a late stage fetus. This is why late termination is illegal in most countries, but many libertarians feel that defining how "late" is "too late" is practically impossible because technology is always improving...
Doubling down on gold after this. Lawl America. Corporate puppet after corporate puppet. Buncha old fogies with no internet voting what their pastor tells them, isolated from the draft, and receiving or about to receive social security. Holy War with Iran approaches. GIVE US BACK OUR DRONE PLEASE.
Voluntary trades yield the most production, because both sides have fear of loss to check their behavior. In some cases, we sacrifice quality/choice for convenience, like government roads over toll roads. But that's not a very good tradeoff for most things.
Some rules can be benign and worth...
Half the posts are from the same guy repeating the word racist 100 times.
Maybe we should simplify the issue even more for RabidMongoose. If Ron Paul is racist, then he can't possibly have any black friends or supporters. Yet he does. And he certainly wouldn't plan to appoint anyone black to a...
I'm admitting to being a racist? Go fuck yourself troll, you can't just casually throw that word around when you lose arguments. The riots comment is not a white hood statement by any stretch. Those rioters had just done exactly what MLK wouldn't have: responded with violence. The policies you...
I disagree vehemently. Libertarians have long been frustrated by welfare programs and it is statistically true that blacks are disproportionately receiving welfare and committing crimes. The reason comes down to insane monetary policy that has grown more and more debt-centric since the...
Probably because the guy who wrote them was an otherwise a frustrated friend who he was unwilling to throw under the bus. Stop seeing this as some big deal. You sound desperate to discredit Paul for some reason.
Are you really this stupid? You're going to sit here and deny the creation of the middle class under a system with no income tax and a gold standard, where non-union auto workers in the 20s made 2oz of gold a week and kept all of it, where the highest GDP growth ever occured, where America was...
I'm not sure why RabidMongoose is trolling so hard on decades old comments written by Lew Rockwell. I suppose we should keep electing socialist nutcases who know nothing about economics and whose policies unintentionally fuel poverty and crime to absurd proportions. There's no better option for...
America used to produce the cheapest goods and pay the highest wages. It wasn't because of protectionism. It was because we had the most capital and a gold standard. You can pay someone with a bulldozer a lot more than you can pay someone with a shovel. The gold standard prevented us from...
Department of [insert good thing here].
Seriously, most of these agencies are relatively new with poor results. The Department of Education has only been around since the 80s. The federal loan program has caused educators to fearlessly charge higher and higher prices each year knowing that...
I'm utopian? Your naive agency of unregulated regulators is in the business of selling approvals and anti-competitive bans to the highest bidder. I'm a diabetic who uses Stevia, I should know how greedy and anti-consumer these retards are. They also don't prevent jack shit in the way of e.coli...
So let me get this straight:
- Company sells moldy sauce it knew was moldy, sickening children.
- FDA can't prevent it because it would take trillions of dollars a year to run tests on every package of food before it ships, obviously a more harmful cost than the occasional food poisoning.
- The...
