He was more of a British Whig (whom he admired) with a touch of Austrian old liberalism (which concedes in some areas more of liberalism then Whiggism) I would say Hayek was a moderate classical liberal. Hoppe argues that Hayek was actually a social democrat. Hayek is mentioned by the establishment because he is "safe." Hayek was a great economist but his political beliefs were, as Anthony de Jasay would say, muddledAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-61446454913211610992015-06-14T20:03:20.474-07:002015-06-14T20:03:20.474-07:00Or paid for..... :)Or paid for..... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-14442303997162454092015-06-14T20:00:19.961-07:002015-06-14T20:00:19.961-07:00Hayek supported a minimum income guarantee only fo...Hayek supported a minimum income guarantee only for people UNABLE to work.

ICD-10 is an abominable mess of 68,000 codes, and it is part of the expansion of government control over individual health care and medical information. Industry writers are calling it "bigger than Y2K", and say it is costing trillions to the industry. CFO where I work said in a meeting it is causing a major epidemic (my word) of consolidation, mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare space. Smaller medical and hospital establishments, overwhelmed, are begging for bigger buyers to save them from regulatory disaster when it hits in October 2015. <br /><br />Jesus Christ warned us in Matthew 17 that taxation has nothing to do with freedom, it only makes the rulers' children (economically) 'free". <br /><br />https://trutherator.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/obamacare-nightmare-of-68000-new-diagnosis-codes-for-icd-10-including-the-bizarre/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-34971584368346154002015-06-12T15:05:37.894-07:002015-06-12T15:05:37.894-07:00Noted that my spellchecker capitalized “National S...Noted that my spellchecker capitalized “National Socialism”.

Obama Care was passed as a secret bill sans vetting and comment from those affected and supposedly represented. As to be expected from such an approach the law has requirements that have already caused to Supreme Court to prostitute itself by declaring a charge to be a “tax” when clearly it wasn’t. Now the court is being pressured to compound its culpability by rewriting clear language in the law to change the law as passed.<br /><br />I suppose we’ve move on to National Socialism with the government controlling property and businesses rather than international socialism in which the state has title ownership of everything. Hardly the proper subject for exploring libertarianism.<br /> TomO<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-78309350782674888532015-06-10T09:24:04.524-07:002015-06-10T09:24:04.524-07:00This kid is not a libertarian...PERIOD.
