You wont' even acknowledge that those receiving unemployment have paid into the system.
True, I won't but that's because, well, they don't. You see here in the United States employ
ers "pay into" the unemployment insurance system while employ
ees may eventually collect from it but are typically not required to pay in directly.
Lest you not believe that, try an experiment this week: while you're standing at the counter asking your fellow goEMAW.com posters if they'd like fries with their order ponder where, precisely, on your weekly pay stub you see the deduction for unemployment insurance. When McDonald's gets around to mailing you your next check, scan and post the accompanying accounting with the deduction for unemployment insurance highlighted.
I'm sure you're equally as capable of comparing Objectivism with environmental laws that attempt to deal with negative externalities. Feel free to get back to me after you've skimmed Wikipedia on the topics.
Sure: Negative externalities of the collective sort you imply are nearly irrelevant to Rand's Objectivism, specifically to laissez-faire capitalism which she chose as her preferred economic model.
But don't take my word for it. In
Return of the Primitive Rand herself said, "Observe that in all the propaganda of the ecologists—amidst all their appeals to nature and pleas for "harmony with nature"—there is no discussion of man's needs and the requirements of his survival. Man is treated as if he were an unnatural phenomenon. Man cannot survive in the kind of state of nature that the ecologists envision—i.e., on the level of sea urchins or polar bears.... In order to survive, man has to discover and produce everything he needs, which means that he has to alter his background and adapt it to his needs. Nature has not equipped him for adapting himself to his background in the manner of animals. From the most primitive cultures to the most advanced civilizations, man has had to manufacture things; his well-being depends on his success at production. The lowest human tribe cannot survive without that alleged source of pollution: fire. It is not merely symbolic that fire was the property of the gods which Prometheus brought to man. The ecologists are the new vultures swarming to extinguish that fire."
But I must say that you're an absolutely terriffic sock. For a while there I thought that you were real but nobody could be so wrong so often. Very well played!
