One assumes, of course, that all of them have no problem just picking up and moving around the country, and don't have to worry about leaving friends and family, and maybe loosing money selling their home (if they own one).
One also assumes that they are are of the Ayn Randian Elite, who have serious leverage with their companies, as opposed to the overwhelming majority of us (and, one suspects, the overwhelming majority of them), to whom a much more frequent answer would be, "if you don't like it, leave".
Gee, doesn't that phrase sound familiar? I could almost compare it to the members of an abused family, defending their abuser.
In fact, that could be a valid comparison. With their "rugged indivdualism", and their "I can do it all", they are pure cannon fodder for the rich and their corporations. Not only they, but the rest of us can be fired at a whim, and we have no recourse.
They want "less government", too. So, if we get injured on the job, or the nearby big company decides that the cheapest way to get rid of their wastes is to just dump them, we have no recourse, other than to sue, assuming that we have the resources to sue, and go against their staff and outsource lawyers.
Does that mean that they are fronts for the trial lawyers assoc, too?
Oh, and they want to cut government ability and rights to enforce laws (a "free society") - how does this affect our ability, once we win a suit, to collect damages, or enforce the change to their policies, if we win, and if the company refuses to comply (M$, right now, comes to mind)?
Then there's the question that I stopped one Libertarian friend of mine in his tracks with:
So, tell me: this wonderful new society of yours - how do we get there? Do we stop, and take everything away from everyone, and divide it up equally, like the beginning of Monopoly (tm), or do we just start from where we are, with Bill the Gates, and Iacocca, and Perot and the rest with zillions of dollars (part of the 4% owning 60% of the entire wealth of this country), and he and I with *zip*.
His response to that was, "well, we're still talking about it down at the Club."
Keep talking guys. Until you resolve all of the above, don't try to force your illogical belief system on the rest of us.
