refute what? I find your position to be selfish, destructive, short sighted, inhumane and disgusting. it's that simple. I find the puritanical libertarian position of "I've got mine jack and of course I earned and deserve every bit of it" to be laughable and disturbing. I'm not sure how you expect me to refute your opinion and I don't really know why you think it's welcome or useful to challenge mine.
we are obviously polar opposites ideologically. the idea that libertarianism as you and Ron Paul seem to envision it would contribute to an increased meritocracy is ludicrous. but you probably don't even acknowledge racism, sexism, intergenerational poverty, the exploitation inherent in capitalism or any of the other existing systemic obstacles to your pipe dream bootstrap utopia, anyway; so why build an argument you'll simply dismiss with the same smug shiteating attitude that you display in this comment?
clearly, despite your claims otherwise, it would seem that you are attempting to convert me, or there would be no reason to continue proselytizing to me. I am a socialist. not because I drank any internet based, flavor of the month, "independent candidate" kool aid but because I've devoted a great deal of time and effort to educating myself and in doing so I came to the only logical conclusion that I could: humanity can only survive if we act cooperatively and responsibly, without condition.
I'm tired of you tax evading, socially irresponsible, selfish, myopic drains on humanity. I'm tired of seeing what comes of the limited regulation that comes of conservatism as it is and terrified to think that idiots like you would be perfectly happy with a full on free for all. it's that damn simple. maybe if you'd caught me, oh, five or six years ago, I'd have the tolerance to "debate" you. sadly, for you, I've been down this road enough times to know where it ends and to know better than wasting my time.
go jerk off to the dream of a world in which education is a luxury, you sick fuck.
