MGB:_This analysis of Buchanan and Rothbard show the tinge of racism found in the libertarian movement, which is more than smoking pot while living in your mother’s basement watching Star Trek. While the Austrians did not get their juice from Rothbard, they share the common view that taxation is theft, especially if the spending does not benefit you. Such a not only lacks empathy but is wrong. Redistribution is necessary when a public debt is owed to the poor for past discrimination, which is why Libertarias resist the idea of reparations or that monopsony is a bad thing that can be remedied through a minimum wage. Public Choice economics, like Catholic moral theology, asserts that there is only one way of life, theirs. The Culutral Theory of Douglas and Wildavsky show that there are four: Hierarchy, Equalitarianism, Libertarianism and Despotism. Of course, many southern racists and Catholic trads meet in despotism without knowing it. Their well-funded anti-government ideology led us right to the idiocracy of Trump.
