		Re: Rights to free goods? (was Re: What happened?
(...) Have you read Larry's response to my question about the ideals of Libertarianism? Your last comment is a gross mischaracterization of Larry's position. If you read one of his other responses, you will even see that he does in fact support (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: Rights to free goods? (was Re: What happened?
(...) OK, you state "people do not have a RIGHT to free goods." I am simplying stating that some people, through no fault of their own, do not have the ability to pay for those goods but, in the name of humanity, should "have a RIGHT to free goods". (...)

(...) Ignoring the minimum wage issue, who cares if the only jobs available are minimum wage? I've worked for varying amounts in my life.

		Re: Rights to free goods? (was Re: What happened?

		Re: Rights to free goods? (was Re: What happened?

		Re: Rights to free goods? (was Re: What happened?
