  1. Elon Musk used a Libertarian style free market to make his first few millions, but then later turned socialist, to use your tax money to monopolize. I'm glad he opened up many of his patents, but let's face it, The only thing that kickstarted his career was the fact the government was too stupid to realize what the internet was. Only lately have they been regulating it to death, including limiting speech. Goodbye Freedom Vote Libertarian, let's turn every industry into the open and free industry that was the Internet. We advance when government is out of the way.

  2. Note: You are confused because you are a product of a public school system that teaches conformity, then pretends to give you something to fight for as another means of control. But hey, if you like being forced, and using force on others instead of having voluntary exchange, thats on you.

  3. markuseraccount1 He was smart at the right time, when there was no government in the way to stop him from creating business in a free unregulated market. Now the internet is being regulated by the establishment, and you'll see no more new startups... at least, not as easy. BTW, most of the wealthiest internet startups started by dropouts.

  4. There is no contradiction, only confusion on your part. When the Government released the internet to the private sector, that is when it took off and we had this mass connectivity. If the government never opened it up, we'd have 14.4 modems still to this day, and we'd be praising glorious government for the fact we can dial into congress to see our rulers.

  5. I'm a politician, its my job to see data and associate it with other laws, regulations and problems that are direcly hurting it. It is also my job to show what has a direct influence on discouraging me to attempt to even get into a market place. In the world of business, it should be the company and the consumer that decide what is fair. Mutual agreement between two parties. If you don't want to work with said company because you feel you are being extorted, then I want you to have less restrictions in the way so you can start up a company for yourself, and make a better product as well as be your own boss. Do you get it yet?

  6. So you have no argument what so ever with what I said other than I'm wrong. I can tell you have not figured out a major yet.

  7. Even education itself is regulated. Government took it over and made it law to protect the established universities so they continue to stay in power. Meanwhile, we still have an internet here... with free knowledge, not being used because its not 'recognized' by the government (unless you pay the few established schools) That should be a crime. Government shouldn't be able to dictate what you know, and limit your ability to create opportunity. That is why I'm a Libertarian!

  8. Great Documentary: Future Cities Shenzhen by Wired (magazine) China starved nearly 70 million people before they actually opened up their 'economic free zones' and let their own people create jobs with little or no regulations. The negative side about this is that this can change at any moment, because technically the communist party is still in charge, and that they did have a horrible environmental impact for a long time, however, that is changing as China is leading the way for green energy now. This is what happens in Libertarian/Hayek style Economies... technology increases.
