Buckley Interviews Libertarian Pres. Candidate Ron Paul

submitted by longde

1 decade 3 years 3 weeks ago

Surprised this hasn't been sifted. Great discussion. I am not sure how much Paul or libertarians have shifted since '88. Buckley asks:
-Why must we abolish the FBI?
-Is the Libertarian position that there are no federal laws? Kidnapping example.
-Clandestine operations and the constitution
-Taxes: against the progressive income tax or the income tax in general
other goodies

I agree with the professor. Voluntarism as a substitute for the welfare state is utopian.

How would it reach everyone, even in the most remote backwater towns, and at that, equally? Who decides who gets what? Do christian and/or white poor get more than others? Who decides what constitutes a poor person? Will drug addicts and drunks get the same help as everyone else? How long until the voluntary philantropists don't want to donate anymore when they see how others who give nothing are getting more prosperous while they themselves 'lose money'?

I've read enough of Gaskell, Disraeli and Dickens to imagine possible outcomes.

Upvote for the professor.
