People say libertarianism is selfish, and I find it to be the opposite, since it allows people to do what they want to do. It seems much more selfish to tell other people what to do, even if it's one's opinion that it's in their best interest. Why do all these things the government restricts us with exist? It's because humans are usually pretty compassionate. And if they're not compassionate, it's probably in their best interest that those around them are happy so they don't get killed by making the less compassionate angry? Those that run the government are no smarter than us, and their collective compromise results in them all being dumber than even one of us. Why can we just print more money? I read somewhere, but I'm not even sure if it's true, that the federal reserve doesn't even print money sometimes, but it's more of a "let's move a decimal place on a computer. Yay money." Isn't the federal reserve a bunch of people that get paid money to do whatever they want? They can't go out of business. I'm not an economic genius that knows exactly why what they do doesn't work, but I don't think it takes a genius to know that we can just ruin the value of a dollar based on some random people (who weren't elected, yes?) move decimal places on the computer. Doesn't this cause inflation? Oh, that's a good thing for the government, isn't it? Do savings inflate as the same rate as the value of the dollar go down? A twenty is valued as a hundred dollars from the seventies, right? Does that mean if someone had money in the bank in the seventies, it's now worth considerably less?
