Re: Effects of raising minimum wages in USA


You don't understand a thing. Or rather you refuse to acknowledge even if
you understand something just because this is against the libertarian
philosophy of greed is good.

The libertarian philosophy is that too much government is bad. The is nothing in libertarian thinking that puts forth greed as a good thing. Rather, it is a permissible thing provided one does not steal or defraud for that which one has a yen. You characterizing of libertarian though is very distorted and mostly wrong. Libertarians just want government off their backs and out of their wallets, as well as out of their bedrooms. Libertarians are great supporters of private consentual activities and are opposed to government regulation of individual and private morals.

You are more likely to find a libertarian working to decriminalize the use of pot than making obnoxious Gordon Gekko type speeches. I would not say Greed is Good. I would say Greed is better than interfering with the private affairs of other people.
