Default Re: Argh property rights debate

[ QUOTE ]
Why are you assuming that making more money is nore exploitive? It sounds like you are failing victim to the classical liberal fallacy of equating making less with helping people.

Uh, if you believe our system of property rights is exploitative of labor and unjust to the poor then you have to say that doing transactional work for [censored] ing Dow Chemical, Archer Daniels Midland, et. al is pretty [censored] ing exploitative work.

But really come on dude you can't argue that a certain social regime is unjust, then participate in the unjust institution on its own terms AND not be a hypocrite WITHOUT taking alternative actions to adjust or overthrow the institution AT LEAST when they are available.

But they passed on that because they dont want to be "poor." They want to do the best for themselves. And I am totally fine with that but I am a economic libertarian not a communist.
