Un pays de libertariens

Campaigns Wikia est la dernière invention du libertarien objectiviste Jimmy Wales, créateur de l'archi-connu Wikipedia (j'ai trouvé cette info grâce à Mobuzz TV).

Pour ceux qui comprennent l'anglais, ça vaut le coup de lire la page sur la Sécurité sociale américaine (qui, rappelons-le, ne couvre que la retraite) et les avis des Américains sur le sujet. A croire qu'ils sont tous devenus libertariens ! Quelques extraits :

• I believe participation in Social Security should be voluntary.
• I don't believe it's the government's job to take my income and tell me how to invest it for retirement.
• I believe Social Security will be long-gone by the time I'm old enough to retire.
• I believe that it is my responsibility to save for retirement not the government's.
• I wasn't offered a choice to sign up for social security. I cannot opt out.
• Social Security is a regressive tax that unfairly penalizes less wealthy Americans.
• Social Security is a program which takes away the rights of all of us to try to be a parent to a few of us. The right in this case is the right to my property, that money that SS takes from me is mine and mine alone, the government takes it from me and thus takes my right to spend it, waste it, invest it, etc.
