And people with more money get their rights secured faster by government. What MJ isn't telling you about Libertarianism: the fact that Libertarianism weighs the different rights afforded to people. i.e. Walmart (or any business) could put up a sign saying; Blacks Not Served (or any other variant to the theme). He would argue that people would decide where to shop, and that Walmart would suffer the consequences of doing so. Maybe, maybe not. But certainly people would be inconvenienced, and much more time and money wasted in compliance or non compliance than is currently. > My point is that so much love is given to business and an unsucessfull > working man is viewed lowly. That's the opposite of justice. Yes. It's called conservatism. > Minimum wage only ensures that someone MUST be paid at least X. > It does not guarantee employment.

The part of the Civil War that many people overlook is the fact that many northerners were out of work precisely because of the low cost of slavery. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
