What I mean is, Take it easy — But take it. — Pete Seeger, “Talking Union”
“Private property” is a social concept dependent upon State enforcement. Libertarians balk at being taxed to pay for public health, education, and the social services required to mop up after the Invisible Hand has run amok — but they’re happy to coerce me to pay taxes to support the armed force that protects their investments, their property, and keeps their labor pools in line. All their fine talk about “principle” is so much bullshit.
