ITT: liberals who think government socialist policies benefit society.

What rights are they protesting? the right to receive other peoples money?

Wealth redistributing policies break the very market forces that produce wealth. You cry about the poor, etc, then advocate a socialist system which creates poverty and enables the likes of JP Morgan to suck our wealth.

grow a brain and join the dots. you make me sick!

Other peoples money... you fail to understand that the money they are protesting being handed to the bankers is their money, the taxes they paid to their agent their government to be spent on the society in which they live. Democracy is by no means perfect, it's flawed and messy and corruptible like people always have been, but it's better than rule by dictat or the divine-right you Austro-Schoolers effectively favor.

I didn't mention the poor, nor have I indicated that I am a socialist. Your rabid hatred of the poor and knee-jerk rejection of this thing called society has crowded-out your ability to reason.

Yeah, it's their money, which was stolen from them by the government.

You are in favor of government run healthcare and schools, therefore you are a socialist. Seems pretty straight forward.

You seem to be seriously deluded about the role that government plays in society. If you don't understand that government involvement in health and schooling decreases quality while raising costs and if you don't understand how government regulations and distortions of the market enable and encourage the corrupted and parasitic institutions we all despise, then I see this as you main failing. I could accuse you of hating the poor, as you advocate the system that condemns them, but I know you are just another righteous liberal who hasn't thought things through.

Many here appreciate bitcoin precisely because it takes away the power of the government to persist with it's wealth redistribution insanity.

Stop bashing Libertarianism until you can actually make an argument against it. you clearly don't understand it at all.

Actually I beleive in a mixed economy. Call me a socialist, I'm not one but I do not consider it an insult. Socialists are proud to be so, and I respect what they're trying to do. Socialism helped rebuild Europe.

Libertarianism is not hard to figure, it's embarrassingly easy to understand the mind-set of the movement...
