The "Libertarian Democrat" Myth

[FrankChodorov]

Some people actually worked hard and EARNED IT. THAT'S how they 'got rich'...

yes, "work" means labor whereas privilege means stealing the labor of others.

I work for others.... and they are doing nothing yet they still make money. Is that 'stealing'?

are they using IP and corporation's limited liability laws?

[CNHT]

Show me where I earned my riches by stealing

where are your interests involved in privilege?

There no involvement in 'privilege' that I can see...what do you consider 'privilege'?

if you can't see it or don't understand it after the 1.5 years that I have been talking about "it" here then I don't have much hope...

privileges are:

privi - private
lege - law

there are two forms of property:

1. labor-based (self-evident)
2. law-based (privilege)

because all material possessions that are commodities first start out as part of the material universe that pre-existed human labor then everything that you own at some point started out as privilege before labor was applied.

So let me get this straight -- I work hard, I pay my bills, I support 3 other families along the way and I take care of my own retirement and I'm the 'rich who got that way from privilege'???

Bill you need to hang your head in shame on this one.  Sorry!

you obviously still don't understand...privilege involves no "work" but is the exclusive use of a natural opportunity backed by the FORCE of whoever granted the privilege.

Frank, since companies pay for the labor how exactly are they stealing anything?

companies expropriate the wages from workers in what is called profit via the intervention of the state...see the Stossel article I posted.

Huh?  Can someone translate that into a form of english a computer programmer can understand?

Which thread was the Stossel article in?
