Great video, Boaz has such a great sense of humor.

Boaz is another slimy puppet of the rich posing as an intellectual. George Carlin and Bill Hicks recognized the "Libertarian Party" and its philosophy for what it is: nonsense. The "market" is the fallback position of intellectual dunces. It used to be conservatives would rely on "God" to sort everything out, now it is "the market". Shame on the Cato Institute for turning lackeyism into a political philosophy.

Funny, because I thought most Europeans had higher living standards than US Americans.

holly shit the government steals mad money

I've always wondered: Do we pay MORE taxes than big-government Europe, or do they? Or is it the same amount, except that Europe pays more in terms of how much each tax costs? I mean, we have so many freakin taxes! It's no wonder the Cayman Islands are so famous for offshore accounts. I'm sure not even European businessmen hide their money from taxes as much as American ones. After all, American corporate tax is the 2nd-highest in the world, which is odd considering how capitalist we are.

Libertarianism: A Primer is a great, brief book as an intro to the ideology. Unfortunately, my local library back in St. Louis only had a few libertarian books, and that was one of em. That was probably the ONLY libertarian book there that wasn't checked out at the time, sadly.
