That is nasty attitude. It is just despicable the callousness on here. Beyond belief.
I don't understand what motivates people with such a vile perception of how society should be. I get the point about one not needing to join a military, but the sad mindset about not having free contact years back is just sad. Those people fought or at least served their country. As much as I am a pacifist, service personnel at least deserved that.
I read this comment on the Guardian newspaper.

Watch his rally. Stop being a scrooge about society. Nothing good will be gained from it. You'll just end up being deleted. It isn't worth the misery.

In 2010, there were nineteen million claiming some form of welfare. Ending any and all, would be a disaster.
Libertarianism is just an extremist dream. Nothing good will be gained from it. Only misery, poorer people, wealthier individuals. Some of you here are very deluded, and pretty nasty. You just have had some very nasty experiences and couldn't want more for the future, due to your bitterness.

What bot?
No, you people just don't want to see, health care, a welfare state to provide for those who are unemployed.
Your attitude isn't popular is would be lead to chaos. Corporations not paying any tax, just dodging it, so the country doesn't get their money to help pay for infrastructure.
Liberty the way those support here, I'm sure would be a disaster.

So we shouldn't work hard to earn money and save it to feed, educate, and give our children a nice start in life and save so we can retire one day, we should give it to the government to redistribute?
You'd better hope like hell there are folks like us who earn enough to pay tax or your ass would starve.A wage that sustains, and if enough to pay tax, fine.
I think it's pure nastiness of you to think you're entitled to anything I've worked hard for.But anything else is just pure nastiness.
1. Corporate taxes are only 11% of total tax receipts.
2. Infrastructure spending is only 2% of all federal spending. If you eliminated corporate taxes it would have zero effect on infrastructure spending.
3. Corporations don't pay taxes. People do. If you lowered the corporate tax rates to zero, that doesn't mean you would collect those taxes. If the corporate tax rate went to zero companies would either pay shareholders a dividend which would be taxed, they could reinvest and shareholders would pay a tax on increased capital gains, or they could pay their workers more and that money that would be taxed.
There are people I genuinely have sympathy for. You are not one of those people. Giving you welfare is not an act of compassion. A kick in the ass would be an act of compassion. Western society tolerates underachievement, so you won't starve to death if you don't push yourself. But just for your own self-esteem. It is impossible for someone to be happy and to be leeching off the government. Here is a guy with no arms and no legs being productive. http://www.jamesaltucher.com/2017/05/jon-morrow/
Obviously we need a welfood state, and a wellshoes state, and a wellentertainment state, and a wellgulag state as well, because how could the market provide those?
>_<

I think his contribution to society is too large to be talked about in history books and that's ok because it's for a good cause. He sparked, in me, an angst and yearning to be free. His affect on me cannot be measured, but it is there. His voice on stage during debates, that the entire planet was watching, was heard. This is why he had fans all around the world. The average joe knew nothing of the federal reserve, the leading producer of human misery, and now they do. Ron Paul's affect upon the world is immeasurable due to its immense scale. And that's ok.
I don't know if the entire planet was watching, may be for his foreign policy mindset. Even people in my own country thought the Socialist party's leader of non intervention and peace was somehow a destruction of the UK.
But ultimately, security has been measured by somebody in charge.
As for domestic policy, Libertarian idea can't work. The only way in theory this could be tried, is if a new nation was formed with that belief that one is the sole provider for him or herself, that is the only way you so called Liberty nuts could try your experiment out. As for the world, it won't happen, I'm sure of it. Feel good reasons or not, people aren't that self centered for such a belief, it is too extreme.
Cuba may of changed a little, but the communist party is finished. That was pretty poor.
neg-rep for being a mealy-mouthed liar - as well as a greedy narcissist who wants to steal from other people in order to get what he wants (or rather, who wants other people to steal what he wants for him, because he's a coward as well as a parasitic moocher ...)

To you and billions of your fellow travelers, I'm quite sure it is.
Such is the human condition.
Those few of us with vision and foresight and the desire to see humanity reach it's fullest potential, to be something beyond a chess piece on some system of control's board, to have more than the crumbs off the Lord's table or a government dole "benefits" card, have had to fight and extinguish and shut up people like you since Moses' time.
Every great leap forward that mankind has made, happened because, for a brief shining moment in history, people like you were beaten back and human liberty was allowed to root.
Assuming I'm not talking to a sock puppet or "bot" of some kind, people like you, with a mindset like yours, foster the very worst in people, you amplify greed, envy, want, apathy, sly sneaking cunning and mental torpor.
You preach that the end always justifies the means in the pursuit of getting "your fair share".
And because of that, the world has had sit in the corner with a flaming dunce cap on its head on more than occasion as the stink of the dead reached to heaven...
God damn you, and all you stand for and all your fellow travelers.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I served in the Army. I served 2 tours and 27 months in Iraq. The only phonecalls I made were from a journalist's sat phone she let us use, and from donated pre-paid phone cards with 'minutes' on them. They were donated by Americans, and not paid for by the tax payer. Don't presume to denigrate the people of these forums on behalf of 'those who served.' You are a coward.
Please for the love of god, you are not here to educate yourself. You don't have the capacity to even begin to understand what rights are, where they come from, or the proper role of government.
Take your goose-stepping-government-controls-everything bull$#@! back to the fringes of the progressive left where it belongs. Quit using up all our 1s and 0s here on RPF... a site dedicated to the principles of self-ownership, peace, and prosperity.
