Libertarians make bad lifegaurds

19. Can you really be so sure?

We've seen the actions of the people who pay for conservatives to scale down market regulation and social safety nets. They make a habit of killing the economy and leaving the poor to rot.

From what I can tell, they don't care about making money, or being wealthy. They already accomplished that. They're interested in one thing, and one thing only: they want everyone else to live on their terms.

If paying the admission fee is enough to keep you alive (life being one of our inalienable rights), why are they trying to cut away all of the social programs which keep American citizens safe? Why do they refuse to offer universal health care, leaving many Americans to die of disease? Why do they want to dismantle the FDA, which exists to ensure the food we're eating and drugs we're taking won't kill us?

The taxpayers have paid, in part, for the government to do everything in its power to keep them alive. So, why are libertarians standing in the way of something we've paid for?
