There is nothing free about "he who has the gold makes the rules." This seems a bit counter-intuitive to many who are new to the libertarian philosophy, but once past the "tea party 2.0" stage, I think most "libertarians" understand and agree with this.
- nknight 15y agoI'm not clear why people are dragging "libertarian" into it. Most people I know wouldn't describe themselves as libertarian, and certainly aren't in their belief system. Libertarians do not have a lock on advocacy of the free market. The most right-wing, Christian-conservative, anti-abortion, pro-war-on-drugs, anti-gay (in the lock them up or kill them sense), I-get-to-decide-how-you-live-your-life man I know is also the one that goes the most apoplectic when government regulates economic matters.
