Stop Calling Coercion Voluntary.

I am feeling quite angry right now.

What is it going to take people? How long do we have to go seeing the destruction of the economy before we decide that violence is NOT the solution to our problems?

Here's the intellectual solution that our wonderful university professors and political pundits put forward...Give em GUNS!

What do I mean? Well, you get all of this tripe from Keynesian economists, professors, and pundits that suggest that what we need to do to fix the country is have more "bailouts" "regulations" and "re-distribution". These Euphemisms glaze over the fact that they are backed up by a GUN.

If a company doesn't follow a regulation like "You must pay at least $7.15 per hour to all employees", what that means in reality is this "If you don't pay at least $7.15 an hour to your employees, even if they voluntarily accept being paid a lower amount, we will arrest you, incarcerate you, and if you resist, shoot you". Do you think that someone agreeing to accept a lower wage (thus they are happy to be paid that amount since they VOLUNTARILY chose that wage)warrants a death sentence for the employer?

Sure, you will probably comply with the law. The question is not whether or not you will comply, but rather why you will comply. The reason is that you will be shot if you don't.

Until we realize that human beings flourish in a state of freedom and are stymied under threat of coercion, the economy will continue to crumble.

Stop Supporting Violence. Stop Using Eupehmism. Call things by their real names.
