Cue Outrage 3…2…1

You can almost count the seconds it takes for your leftists friends to opine about how horrible that last thing some agent of the state did.

Okay, that was harsh.  It probably was horrible.  But that’s not the point.  It really hardly matters state or federal, every decision is Armageddon and We Are ALL going to DIE!  “‘We do know that many more people, hundreds of thousands of people, will die if this bill passes,'” Pelosi said.  CBS News June 26, 2017.

Outrage Everywhere

Or, there are the people like the teacher who was going on how it was unfair for “rich kids” to have access to the Fast Pass at Disney while the poor kids have to stand in line and watch.  The problem is that everyone deserves access.

Tom Woods caught wind of this and responded, in an e-mail, not to her, this way: “No child is going to be imbued with an entrepreneurial spirit who grows up with the idea that he “deserves” to be able to do X. This is a self-destructive pity party. Children should also not be taught destructive nonsense about “the rich,” the one group in society we are permitted to hate, and whose achievements may never be mentioned. Why, they’re possibly rich through inheritance! Or by “exploiting” someone earning minimum wage! This is economic nonsense.

Earn -v- Deserve

If the emphasis is on who is “deserving,” then answer me this. Suppose eye transplants are possible. My child is blind. Your child has two functioning eyes. Does your child “deserve” those eyes more than my child? If not, then you are required to transfer one of your child’s eyes to my child.

The children under the charge of that teacher, and all the teachers like her, have an uphill battle to identify and then learn what they are being denied.  What were you denied from state school?  I have news: you can fix it.  And it isn’t an eye for an eye.

Tom Woods’ Liberty Classroom fixes this problem.

Learn in your car on the way to work or watch videos as you prepare dinner.  The lectures are about 30 minutes each which makes them easy to remember.

How To Be A Libertarian or At Least Think Like One

Better Think; Think

[social_warfare]

How does one “be” libertarian?

As I ventured into liberty, I found there were some topics about which I knew nothing. Economics specifically. Libertarians love economics. So, I read a few articles and books and then more and it turns out there is a vast library of libertarian authors and thinkers who are authors with books just waiting to be read. And, there are articles. That so much exists is a testament to the thought that has gone into what it means to be a libertarian on purpose.

I’ve written a piece about how little D and R asks of its affiliates.  Being libertarian requires we do our homework.  With that in mind, I present a collection of essays and articles available with the click of a mousse for you to read.  Beginning libertarians will certainly find this a help in understanding how it is that libertarians do see the world differently  than other people.  That’s not good or bad it just is.  Once you start to see beyond the curtain, you’ll see the world differently too.

Click through these links.  They were intended to be consumed on a day for 30 days.  There is little reason to go faster.  The material is good, but these writers aren’t pulp fiction.  Dig in; enjoy.  Drop me a note or come find us around on Facebook.  We would love to chat.  Now, the list as presented in the EconomicPolicyJournal.com.  h/t Robert Wenzel

Make A List
The 30 Day Reading List that will Lead You to Becoming a Knowledgeable Libertarian

The list below will not make anyone a scholar in libertarianism or an expert in Austrian Economics, it is designed to introduce to the busy individual the essence of libertarianism. There are 30 articles listed below. If one reads one article, slowly and carefully, per day, by the end of 30 days one should have a very strong grasp of libertarian principles and a basic understanding of Austrian economics. The list contains articles on a variety of topics but does not cover all possible libertarian topics. More than anything it provides an overview of libertarianism and how libertarians think about issues of the day. The completion of the 30 days of reading should not be considered an ending point but rather the start of the beginning of a more detailed study.
