If you're unemployed, it's not because there isn't any work.

27. That's one of those Randian half truths

so dear to the hearts of Libertarians. Your own reading of our history conveniently ignores the millions of acres of public lands given to canal and railroad builders and the vast public subsidies provided to Capitalists, both directly, in the form of tax breaks and cash payments and indirectly in the form of the trillions invested in public roads, bridges, water works, flood control and sanitation; not to mention the cheap access to publicly owned resources like timber, minerals (oil) and rangeland. And a public school system that used to be the best in the world, providing the skilled, intelligent workers business needed. "I buit this" is libertarian myth. The nation's wealth is community property. The Capitalists don't get to take the ball home with them. The game isn't over.
