- You have the RIGHT to education in the United States.
- You do NOT have the RIGHT to be alive to be educated.
* Additionally, you MUST treat someone in the ER if they are dying, but if they will be dying a week from now, send them on their way.
That is one thing I give to hardcore libertarians, they seem monstrous at times (no public schools, let sick people without insurance die, can't afford food then starve, etc) --- but at least they are consistent and honest. Also, they will claim that private companies / charities will stop this horrible stuff from happening.
>(no public schools, let sick people without insurance die, can't afford food then starve, etc)
Just want to emphasize (I see your little tacked-on afterthought there) that just because a libertarian doesn't believe the money to do these things should be forcibly extracted from the taxpayer's pocket doesn't mean that they believe people should be left to die. They simply trust non-governmental entities to capably care for their fellow men. It's about the proper role of government, not Darwinism.
As an example, consider Social Security. The government told us that they needed to save our money for us, since we were too stupid to do it ourselves. And now they've spent it all. lol?
