Redistributing wealth to the poor is the same thing as distributing poverty to those near poverty. Imagine you distributed wealth to everyone equally, what would happen to prices if everyone in the world suddenly had equal amounts of money?

Demand for and hence the prices of desired goods, with no corresponding increase in supply would skyrocket.

An increased demand from some means a decreased demand from others. I do not see how inflation could result from this.

The redistribution takes what would go to savings (investment) of the wealthier and turns that wealth to consumption, leading to shortages, stagnating or regressing rates of production and price inflation.

Well, then, I guess I would not be a miniarchist. I believe in no government whatsoever.

Oh okay. Then we're completely on the same side. I stand corrected.

I guess your username is from way back?

limitgov:
I'm gonna send so much love at you, it'll destroy all the anger coming at me.

Not sure if that's possible, but of course you're free to try.

God, I wish I could figure out where the ignore function actually is.

How about you just try to make me forget it, hmm?

You can ignore me all you want, but I won't ignore you. Get it?

Also, by ignoring me, I consider you to be unconditionally conceding your position. If necessary, I'll ask others (who you haven't ignored) to ram that point home until you can't look away from it.

This isn't over.

"consider a minarchist to be someone who advocates a free market in everything but the settling of disputes, if not also in protection."

Well, then, I guess I would not be a miniarchist. I believe in no government whatsoever.

Forget it mate. I've never put anyone on ignore before. Congratulations on being the first.

Explain to me why you're focusing on that one single post of yours. I see no honest reason for you to do so.

Feel free to point out anywhere you think I've characterized things inaccurately

When you said this:

I think your whole point is to try to lord it over me and the rest of us.

If this is the case, then name one point in this post where I was doing any 'lording' whatsoever. You had been repeatedly asking me to respond to points that I had failed to address. I did so in a very respectful manner, and yet the reply was this. So is it me or you who is 'lording'?

What is a miniarchist? compared to the average person, we are way on the same side.

I consider a minarchist to be someone who advocates a free market in everything but the settling of disputes, if not also in protection.

limitgov:
sounds like you just want to brow beat him. anger is only going to bring more anger.

So? Maybe I don't mind that.

limitgov:
and by the way, don't waste any energy on anger with me...you are on my side...you promote free markets....I have love for you.

I'll "waste energy" on anger with you if I want to, thank you very much.

"You're a minarchist, aren't you?"

"I want to show him how bankrupt his position is. I also want to retaliate against his attitude."

sounds like you just want to brow beat him. anger is only going to bring more anger. and by the way, don't waste any energy on anger with me...you are on my side...you promote free markets....I have love for you.

This was a post with absolutely no trolling or sniping. If anything, it was the opposite - being that it contained a small amount of contrition

"If I inferred wrongly then I take it back.".

This on the other hand was riddled with dismissive, accusatory, and childish one-upmanship.

"Thank you for finally having enough backbone"

"You're backpedaling pretty furiously"

"you've now admitted to having lied?"

"I won't even call it a nice try on your part."

"your entire position is intellectually bankrupt and it's simply a matter of blind religious faith to you. Yes, religious. I'll say it again and again if I deem it necessary."

"You don't seem to understand what I mean by "proof""

So no, you are not interested in debating seriously.

I am - if you are. But I don't think you are. I think your whole point is to try to lord it over me and the rest of us. That's normally been your point in this forum, as far as I can tell. So I'm giving you a taste of your own medicine. In other words, I'm showing you the same contempt that you've already shown for me and the rest of us. You sure don't seem to like it. Oh well - go complain to someone who cares. I don't see you as a victim here in the slightest. As far as I'm concerned, you deserve all of this at the very least.

Have I made myself clear? I sure hope so.

Aside from that, my point is also to show just how bad you are at arguing.
