Ah pollution.
This is were I defect from my fellow libertarian brethren, for the very simple reason that I do not wish to wait until a risk actually becomes a reality.
So, environmental regulations are a-ok in my book, however I would expect a healthy amount of corruption in that area then.
Then again, if we keep government small, we have an actual chance of keeping track of what it does. [/quote]
Seeing how the Republicans have changed the definition of the word “CONSERVATIVE”, what makes you think that a free market would not migrate towards a system again tilted towards the wealthy.
We definitely agree on the enviroment.
What about water rights or the company that owns the wires the electricity flow ?

The system was, is and always will be tilted towards the wealthy.
Which is why there is no reason to add such numerous and convoluted rules and bureaucratic hurdles that the only ones being able to navigate them are people who can afford an army of lawyers.
You do know that not even the IRS actually understands the tax codes and that following their advice does not absolve you from any liability if some bureaucrat or other disagrees with what his underling deemed proper?
There is no reason why you should not be able to do your taxes on a paper napkin.
Well actually there are several and you being able to exert ye mighty democratic control over your elected representatives is not one of them.[/quote]
If you listen to the pod cast it will explain one reason the tax code is so convoluted . The wealthy belong to groups that pool the money and hire lobbyists . The middle class used to have a few such lobbyists but Unions were declared EVIL by the Republicans and people bought that

I believe you missed the point. The point is as he said: the system was, is, and always will be tilted towards the wealthy. There is no such thing as a system that is not tilted towards the wealthy. Therefore why complicate the rules and “game” to the point where the only ones who can understand and navigate the maze are those that can afford and retain an army of legal scholars to guide them? (aka–the “rich”).

If I understand your point , I believe there are many but all systems are corrupt
