I agree that it's nit-picky when taken on its own, but the mindset is
symptomatic of an apparent and as yet unresolved shortcoming of the
Libertarian view--namely that those who are able to afford better conditions
will become better able to afford better conditions, while those unable to
afford them will become increasingly unable to afford them. This is
consistent with just about everything I've read in the various debates,
specifically as they've pertained to the miltary, schooling, road systems,
government, and even property itself.
Dave!
