Have I misunderstood Libertarianism?
#5
RE: Have I misunderstood Libertarianism?
Quote:No. Private charity would take that job. Libertarians are against forced charity, since forced charity ultimately takes all the meaning out of the word. People in Libertarianism would still be people, they'd still have all the compassion that they do now, and due to lower taxes (because of smaller government) they'd be more inclined to donate to charity.

I am quite skeptical of that claim. Can you back this claim up?
Best regards,
