Very simply, Libertarianism is Bullyism.

The Libertarian worldview is that the LARGER or more powerful the person/industry is, the better.

According to them, if they are in business, they MUST be right, otherwise the market would correct and put them out of business.

It doesn’t take into account:

• The sheer size of Mega Transnational Corporations
• Unfair tax benefits (NAFTA, development-zones, unequal taxation reductions, tariffs)
• Collusion (price fixing and supply restriction)
• Lying (that never happens)
• Advertising (the ability to manipulate purchasing, even though a product may be inferior)
• Monopolies (THIS is the big one)
• The RIGHT of representational Democracy (a society or community (Commons) determines how they will be governed)
• Businesses are artificial creations of Government, not the other way around (“We the People” determine what rights businesses get)

UNCOVERS:

In fact, no matter what a Democratic majority of citizens want through public policy (Government- “We the People”), or organizations of independent people (unions, scientific groups, industry watchdogs), they still favor the most wealthy and powerful for-profit businesses.

This ideology is dangerously naive.

Our Government (the founding fathers created a Government, not Libertarianism) is designed to be citizens coming together, and determining as a group what is best for the society they are a part of.

Governments are tasked to protect “the People” from the schoolyard bullies.  If Wal-Mart, with all of their money and power, was putting cadmium in all of their housewares products, how would a customer know without the Consumer Protections, or laws preventing them from doing something harmful?  How would ONE person fight a HUGE multi-billion dollar organization?

Government fights for the little-guy, Libertarians fight for the Bullies.
