Comp, I love economic freedom. Personal freedom does come about as a result of it. Every time civilization has moved up the Means of Labor from exploitative practices, the resulting society has enjoyed more liberties.

1) Our revolution from vassalship to England, taxation without representation, resulted in liberty.

2) Lincoln's ending of slavery resulted in a progress towards equal rights.

I'm still working out the kinks in my proposal. Government needs limitations on making privilege agreements.

a) no person should be forced to pay for another's privilege.
b) no person should be forced to accept any privilege.
c) no one should obtain privileges without being fully informed of all the regulations, taxes, fees, and dues respective thereof.

See, we can let the left & right have their public education, welfare, marriage, or whatever as long as they are willing to pay for it themselves and not drag the rest of us into it. These privilege thingies need regulations to work properly, so let em have it and we'll get back our civil liberties through defining clear limits on state privileges.

We've never defined standards before for this! See what happens when we don't limit government? I need serious help defining limited government standards within the context of Privileges.
