I would like to start by saying that you are all awesome. I have an idea that I would like to bounce off of everyone:
Under our current system, of course we do not have any sort of free market as the most foundational aspects of our economy is government controlled, which is the money supply and interest rates. With that being said, under the current paradigm, should we be advocating for policies within this system?
The system is set up fundamentally to benefit those closest to monetary distribution, while the poor are constantly being robbed by the never ending destruction of the dollar. So, my question, why should we rail against policies that benefit the poor? The system is fundamentally unbalanced because we have a controlled market, are we doing more harm than good by discrediting assistance to the less fortunate?
Of course there are many psychological problems associated with losing independence and having to rely on the robbing of your fellow citizens to survive, this ultimately destroys the human spirit. But, under the current system, we are all practicing immorality by being involved with the immoral economy. For example, using the roadways is immoral as they were built on thievery from your fellow mankind. The use of the public school system could be argued to be immoral of course. Using the dollar could be considered immoral as well along with any other government service that we often do not have a choice to use.
I guess my argument is, we should continue to advocate for foundational changes in society and the end of the state, but we should avoid getting involved in the statist debate of attempting to balance the current system.
Thoughts?
