There are no instances of charity ever providing the basic needs of a nations poor since the advent of the nation state. Charities are much more ibefficient than government at curing starvation, lack of healthcare, etc. Nations that contain large percentages of hungry, homeless, and sick are almost always shitty. Making sure there aren't large numbers of extreme poverty cases makes us all better off.
- ashark 11y agoAFAI am concerned, libertarians are free to replace most of government with charity and other voluntary associations as soon as they find a way around the free rider problem and assorted other coordination problems that isn't 1) government (we already have that!), or 2) obviously worse than government. Good effing luck!
