Yeah. First of all, stop calling me 'boy'. You're going out of your way here to be an insulting prick and I'm trying to steer around it, but please, give it a break.Ah, me boy, you say they do not impose coercive GOVERNMENT oppression. I do not feel oppressed by our government in any area. Let consider:
Second, you're confusing coercion with oppression. When I recognize government as coercive, I'm not saying it's unpopular. Coercion, especially against unpopular minorities, can enjoy broad popular support.
1. Public Social Security - Best thing since sliced bread for the vast majority of people. For proof, look at what happens to politicians when they try to privatize it. They always change directions quickly. People like it a lot.
2. Medicare Read my response above.
3. public parks, city, county, state - Great for the majority. Private parks are no where near as popular. Not counting amusement parks, which are NEVER public.
4. Public roadways - Good deal. I have no problem. Are you looking for private roadways? They exist, and cost a bunch. People only drive on them if they have the money and have to because of traffic problems.
5. Tax on the wealthy - if you knew ANYTHING about economics, you would know that increasing taxes on the wealthy is very close to completely non-recessionary. Hurts no one except some very wealthy folks.
6. Tax on Corporations - see #5.
7. Minimum Wage laws - Stats show that they have NEVER been a long term drag on the economy, and they help people actually live.
8. Labor Unions - While cons like monopoly power in corporations, they see no need to allow labor to have offsetting power. Really?
And on and on, me boy.
So, all of those things which libertarians are against I see as non problems and generally good things. They simply do not allow the wealthy to become more so. What libertarians are, me boy, as you well know, is in the pocket of the wealthy. None of those things that are currently handled by the gov are in any way coercive of me. At all.
Your argument is spacious.
Again, whether you, or the majority, see these policies as "good things" has no bearing on whether they are coercive or not. Coercion is using the threat of violence to force people to comply with a given policy.
