Because the courts are subservient to statute. What I'm saying is that those statutes that violate the right to engage in voluntary interactions should be repealed.
- toss1 9y agoso, your argument has finally boiled down to: ALL statutes should be repealed. Every statute impinges on conduct that could be voluntary agreed among some set of parties. You might actually knowingly want my cheap deathtrap car, or want me to pay you 50c/hour without workman's comp and unemployment insurance. You might even voluntarily want me to murder you (easier than suicide or some ritualistic purpose). There are lawless societies that exist, and they do not work well. They are usually called "Failed States" for a reason. If you really want that, it is relatively cheap to go there. But, do not expect much of a future for yourself or your family. Yes, you are nominally more free in the sense that you can do anything you want. But you are actually substantially less free because there is little or nothing in the way of resources, infrastructure, societal conventions, laws, etc. To build and maintain a complex society, there must exist some significant regulation of markets, including some voluntary activities (start with managing the Commons Problem). To say otherwise is merely spouting a useless ideology that will actually harm growth and the availability of freedom.
