Executive Vice President David Boaz addresses a Student Forum on October 29, 2010 at the Cato Institute. Boaz is the author of "Libertarianism: A Primer" (bit.ly/9q3dWb) "The Politics of Freedom: Taking on the Left, the Right, and Threats to Our Liberties" (bit.ly/dcvpuX), and is editor of "The Libertarian Reader" (bit.ly/aZKlY0), a collection of essays from Lao-Tzu to Milton Friedman.
Boaz is one of my heroes! Great job.
I'm pretty upset that I can only like this video once.
I was just about to write exactly that!
Nice concise, compare and contrast. Very useful, informative, and practical.
David Boaz for president!! Coherent thinking, razor-sharp arguments and excellent rhetoric... Wow. Thumbs up for this guy.
This was more of a Case against Conservatives and Liberals but still a good watch.
David Boaz is simply the most well spoken libertarian today. He should seriously throw the LP a bone and run for president.
@CaptainCocaine Libertarian used to be a term for an anarcho-communist, it now often means either a minarchist or an anarcho-capitalist.
Im reading one of his books right now, Libertarianism: A Primer. Check it out.
@rumco Those fall under types of libertarianism. Libertarianism by itself is simply places protecting individual liberties as the #1 priority of society.
I wish I could elaborate as well as Boaz. I am trying to find a job with a BS in biochem, but it is hard to find a decent paying job. My perspective: underemployment is close to 40 percent.
@rumco According to Howard Zinn.....
@Sivels I sure have! Have you been listening to Stefan Molyneux?
i used to be a libertarian. thank god im a communitarian now. hegel for the masses.
@pkninja47 He never said fraud would be allowed or malpractice tolerated. He also never said anything about abortion.
wait i though regan raised taxes slightly???
All we need to do to have more libertarians is to emphasize economics education in high school. Because youngsters are socially liberal anyway.
@jjonesut It's amazong how funny he is when he speaks with such a straight face. "The Hillarys and the Huckabees..." I 'bout fell out of my chair.
@kakelsoness And neither do you. There is one party, one ideology, the Bigger Government Ideology.
This guy is right--most libertarians are
@psychiatristman00 Don't you mean "Hegel's ideas and its descendants kill the masses?" Because that would actually reflect history.
Hillary vs. Huckabee, brilliant haha
@antichrist1909589 He lowered the tax rate but removed a lot of "reductions"
@LordKhyron85 aha! what?! huh? i am the end of history! glory to me!
@CaptainCocaine It's cool, that's why I didn't troll you (so to speak, lol). But those are common misconceptions about libertarianism, I was just making sure you didn't think that libertarians didn't want any government involvement in fraud and malpractice, or that libertarians typically support abortion rights (that's actually an issue of contention among libertarians).
@migkillertwo We need good people fighting for liberty in BOTH places: within the Libertarian Party and within the GOP. So take your pick! :)
But allow me to extend an invitation to you to join your brothers and sisters in the LP. There you will find yourself among people you can like and respect. Your views will enjoy a majority within a minority party. In the GOP, you will be a minority within a majority party.
Which is better is hard to say, but please join the fight! We need you.
@psychiatristman00 I suppose when I comment on a nonsensical post, I should expect a nonsensical reply. My mistake. Please, continue with your lucid commentary.
@capitalist4life That's the argument from morality. Have you heard of the against me argument? >Are you willing to tax me for wars I disagree with?
you mean the president can't do all those things?!
Here's my case for libertarianism: Theft is immoral. Taxation = theft. Government must tax (steal). Therefore, government is immoral.
@capitalist4life Yup ( :
If this guy thinks the Bushes and McCain are conservatives, he obviously has no real understanding of conservatism.
@arcanekrusader lies!!! yes it can!!!!
government magic is awesome!!!
