Why would this be anyone’s ideal? You are not being charitable towards libertarians.
- Traster 6y agoI'm not saying what's happening is the libertarian ideal, I'm saying what's happening is what happens when the libertarian ideal is implemented. A libertarian may want to not bail out big businesses when times are bad - they may truly believe that ideally you just let the bad businesses fail and the market is stronger for it. The problem is that in reality, you're talking about letting voters take a huge amount of pain a few months before an election. So as a result you end up in a situation where you can have a laissez faire approach to regulations when the economy is booming, but you can't actually allow all the people who vote for you to lose their jobs.
- darepublic 6y agoThat's fair but also fair to consider what practically happens when big government philosophy is implemented.

- kwhitefoot 6y ago> You are not being charitable towards libertarians. Why would anyone, including other libertarians, be charitable toward them?
- whynotminot 6y agoThen they're being treated exactly as they prefer--no charity all bootstraps baby! :P
- hirundo 6y agoLibertarians have no problem with voluntary charity, just with compulsory charity.
