Welfare Before the Welfare State – Mutual Aid

https://youtu.be/sbugmH9n30Y The Libertarian approach to the welfare problem, then, is to abolish all coercive, public welfare, and to substitute for it private charity based on the principle of encouraging self-help, bolstered also by inculcating the virtues of self-reliance and independence throughout society.

Rothbard Economic Controversies, pp. 902–03 LBRY.tv: https://lbry.tv/@KeithKnightDontTreadOnAnyone:b/Welfare-Before-the-Welfare-State---Mutual-Aid:6 BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/FfZEkxH1mY9q/ Archive:...

If That Ain’t The Most Soviet Thing…

Guys, check out this screed against a payroll tax cut at CNN.com. Their awesome points: Trump wants it. Some Republicans and Democrats don't want it. Some people say it won't "boost" the economy now. It won't help people who don't have jobs. There's still a virus, and payroll tax cuts can't change that fact, so there! Some people say direct welfare payments are always preferable to tax cuts. And of course: how are we going to afford all those direct welfare payments if we cut tax revenue? I tell ya what....

Three Friends And Their Divergent Paths In Life

This recollection is based on a true story. There were three friends, each were a little different to the other. As young boys the three began to mature into different people; John was lazy and he grew rounder as the others began to grow broad shoulders. While they played sport he would watch and criticize the other players. John loved his friends but he really was not as interested in participating in any of the harder activities like they were. David was smart, he was cunning and always interested in schemes and scenarios that benefited himself. He loved to play tricks on the others,...

3/6/20 Branko Marcetic: The Case Against Joe Biden

Scott interviews Branko Marcetic about his new book, Yesterday's Man: The Case Against Joe Biden, which explores the arc of Biden's decades-long political career. Marcetic explains that Biden has never really had serious ideological commitments, and instead has simply wanted power and prestige since he was a kid. This has led to a life of switching positions on major issues when he perceived that it would be to his benefit, as he has done on the wars in the Middle East, the drug wars at home, welfare-state economic policies, and "humanitarian" interventions abroad. All of this, Marcetic...

The Conscience of a Liberal by Paul Krugman – REBUTTED

Economist Robert P. Murphy and I discuss Krugman's take on leftism, the morality of the state, welfare, economic cycles, inequality, the great depression and much more! In short, Krugman fails to explain why the state has a moral right to do things (initiate violence against peaceful people to collect taxes, cage them for victimless crimes, etc.) no other group has the right to do, rendering his thesis not only contradictory but also immoral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLYUB_bes9c BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/kVyroemlpl7a/ Archive:...

The Dangerous Chinese Fork Manufacturing Gap

It's a matter of national security! CNBC: "How a tiny flatware manufacturer in upstate New York could win big from $738 billion defense bill": “Manufacturing in general is a strategic asset for our country,” Roberts said. “If you can’t make things, you rely on other countries who may or may not be your friends in the future. You don’t have control over your destiny.” What if there was a war and China cut us off from new forks and spoons?! We would all STARVE! Thank God Congress is here to provide corporate welfare to selected companies in order to provide security from such a catastrophe...
