Have I misunderstood Libertarianism?
#13
RE: Have I misunderstood Libertarianism?
Quote: Charity is done for the sake of being good, at least it is where I come from.
And you know this how?

Quote:Evidence for people giving more if they can afford to give more? Again, human kindness, our compassion, our mindset to always try to do good things.

That sounds like more assertions, not evidence.

Quote:I don't think it's any coincidence that so many multi-millionaires are philanthropists.

Yeah, because they know that they can get better tax breaks that way, their accountant told them. Sure some will do it out of the kindness out of their hearts, but that sounds to me a much to volatile method of getting funds for problems that are systematic.
