Posted by Kromey at 12:03pm Sep 27 '12it's frustrating talking to libertarians sometimes because you fundamentally don't see the problem. You think every problem is a nail, so you always reach for your hammer.
Watch those ad hominems, Four -- you're debating the issue, not my political leanings. Unless you want me pointing out that your hammer is always more government regulation...
Take a hypothetical situation. I'm Apple. I want to sell iPhones--that's my business. You might think the more iPhones I sell, the more money I make, right? Wrong. In this parallel universe, there are A-type people and B-type people. If I can identify B-type people as they enter my Apple stores and kick their asses out before they can so much as look at an iPhone, I make more money. I don't want to sell the most iPhones. I just want to sell to A-types. The better I am at kicking out B-types, the more money I make--I can even sell iPhones more cheaply to the A-types this way! I can even add new features to the iPhones and keep prices low by restricting my sales to A-types only!
Okay... but you've already outlawed this practice! Or did you suddenly forget about your beloved Obamacare just to try to win an argument with a damnable libertarian?
