Life. Liberty. Property.
@Peter McCormack Keynesianism is great in many ways? Thank you for sharing "Lord Keynes" with us? Is that smug, condescending American socialist referring to president of the British Eugenics Society and famed purveyor of "services of bed and boy" John Maynard Keynes? I'm all for letting the other side talk but these remarks cannot go uncommented by someone like you, Peter, who is versed in Austrian economics and genuinely looking to better the outcome of future generations, someone who has glimpsed the abhorrent slavery that Keynesianism has created in the formerly "free" world. Besides, if you go over to the dark side, it's no one but Dominic Frisby left in all of Britain championing the cause of liberty. timestamp 58:18
There is no end to my admiration of the man but I envision a world in which Murray Rothbard would have nothing to teach to anybody, in which his ideas were plain as day to everyone and old Murray had to scrape by, only able to feed and educate four children and afford a modest home on a single blue-collar income.
Ever noticed that if you (have to) give something up for the good of the public, the community, or the collective, you never seem to be part of this all-encompassing group of recipients?
None of the things I like were invented by the government, except the MP3 format. Everything I really dislike was invented by the government, except iPhones.

In case you're a right-winger and you have been living under a rock for the last 650,000 years: Reagan was not a libertarian, he was a big-government spending hawk like almost everybody else. The last president noticably acting like a libertarian was Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s.
