So I guess it's fairly predictable that the particular brand of anarchist libertarian on this forum wouldn't have thought through his philosophies enough to realize that eliminating redistributive policies would also completely eliminate the fictional "labor advantage" of people who have to travel a thousand miles in order to work...

It is kind of surprising though that evorhees at least can't intuitively make the connection between the FED's substantial inflation tax and wages lost to immigration.  Would you call the Federal Reserve "moral"?  Do you consider the petrodollar "moral"?  It seems rather odd to couch the exploitation of what is effectively modern-day tribute labor in terms of morality, especially when the armies that extract that tribute are financed via wealth-redistribution.  And you go so far as to label the corporate beneficiaries of this theft the "moral" ones?  I disagree.  This is a huge issue, and one that is intimately tied with the fundamental reason for Bitcoin's existence.  It's too bad that more of you don't recognize this.
