| > I for one would like more government interference. You do realize that every law is backed by violence, right? How many steps does it take to go from you choosing to no longer pay your property taxes to officers forcibly removing you from your home. We know what can happen if you resist. Our interactions on internet have done a great job in getting us to think that every thing needs to scale to the world. If you really care about the issue, solve the social problem locally and share the results and how you got there. If someone doesn't like it, they can always fork it, rinse and repeat. Everything we allow the government to put its hands in inevitably becomes a disaster. See Social Security, Section 8 Housing, Education (Execution and Funding), Marriage, Divorce, Agriculture, Child Protection Services, etc. I can go on and on, but I think you get the point. People and societies uplift themselves when they're forced to take responsibility. |
It always amuses me how people seem to think that violence is involved in changing how goods are distributed, but not in enforcing the current distribution.
