The Presumption of Liberty Anonymous 02/09/18 (Fri) 14:49:06 No.76091

David Boaz writes in The Libertarian Mind, "Libertarians believe in the presumption of liberty. That is, libertarians believe people ought to be free to live as they choose unless advocates of coercion can make a compelling case. It's the exercise of power, not the exercise of freedom, that requires justification." Why is this so hard for authoritarians to understand?

>this food is bad for your health, then it should be illegal

>this tv show is offensive, then it should be banned

>something you do is against my religion, then it should be illegal

It's no more on topic than pony porn. If you want to stay, talk about the billions of dollars in subsidies soy and corn farmers get from the US government.
