Socialist Libertarian

By definition Libertarianism refers to "the group of political philosophies that emphasize freedom, liberty, and voluntary association without violent coercion. Libertarians generally advocate a society with a small government compared to most present day societies, or no government whatsoever." I believe that we the people should have our personal liberty. I dont believe in welfare because I feel that the goverment steals our money and redistributes it over the population in need. Taxation is theft, especially income taxes. The only tax I support and other libertarians may not see eye to eye on this, but I dont care it is the consumption tax. The government does need to be funded but it could be funded by some of our expenditures, not my labor. I do not vote I personally feel that everyone running in the campaign says one thing and most likley will never do what they say will be done. The freedom in being a Libertarian is being able to put whatever we want in our bodies and only using fire arms to hunt and personal defense, but not for aggression. I'm all for self responsibility.

"They Say"

I loved the introduction and just like most of the other students reading this I  got sucked in. I agree with  Mr. Rushkoff point of view in alot of ways but mostly the fourth paragraph about the "sales associate". Working as a sales associate personally was exactly how Douglas worded it. I had a different sales goal for each day that I worked and a card that you must have atleast one person a week sign up. In my opinion no one can make someone do somthing they didn't want to do but my boss thought otherwise. I currently do not work at this place anymore because it got to the point were they threaten to cut or reduce your hours if you didn't make the goal for each day. Truthfully it's not right that they can do this but if you personally said somthing to them that it isent right or that they cant do this "they" will just find somthing else to cut your hours down or even possible fire you.
