If that logic was true we all would be working at minimum wage as of now.
I never thought of myself as a libertarian until I saw my professor stumble about why its wrong and not provide a coherent argument against it; even after me and a few others pushed him hard on the issue he still couldn’t muster a logical argument, just emotional ones. These emotional arguments satisfied most of the class but not me.
After further investigation (Milton, Nozick) I think ive become a moderate libertarian. Ive still yet to meet a professor (political, philosophy or otherwise) that could provide me with a moral reason why it’s wrong, or why it wont "work" both practically and theoretically (work as in within the moral framework set forth by libertarian esq. utilitarianism) without resorting to truly radical views that no person of common sense would accept as desirable. I expect no different in this thread, people will flood it with horrible arguments that satisfy to reinforce preexisting worldviews.
Go ahead; continue to lampoon a system that only wishes to defend moral guidelines that we all live by. Don’t believe we all live by them? Or that we should? Then head on over to soviet Russia, communism offers the only escape. Go ahead and try to label it impractical but remember exactly where you stand, as an enemy of a good and just state.
