Trump and DACA


This is not a partisan tirade.

I did not vote for Clinton or Obama either time.

So I am not just reflexively criticizing Donald Trump for this because he's Trump and has an R next to his name.

In one sentence:

None of this is any of the federal government's business.

Both DACA and the repeal of DACA are examples of big government run amok.

If I want to hire someone, that's their work permit. They are now permitted to work for me. It's my business.

Because I am paying them to and I give them permission to. It's my money to pay them. And it's my business to decide.

We don't need any extra permission from anyone else. We're grown ups. We can decide.

It doesn't matter where that person was born either. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Why should the place someone was born make them have any less rights than anyone else? We're all people.

Do conservatives think God cares where a person was born? Do the birds and the beasts know about borders?

The truth is that treating human beings differently based on an imaginary line on the ground is one of our worst sins.

It's dehumanizing and it's wrong. It's abusive and tyrannical. It's a form of apartheid.

This is not a new or radical position. It's the settled wisdom and conclusion of our ancestors taken seriously.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights...

If I want to pay someone to do a job, and they want to work for me, that is our business, not Washington's.

Doesn't matter where they were born. That is an A and B conversation. Washington needs to C it's way out.

If I want to accept someone's rent payment to let them live in my apartment complex, that is our business, not Washington's.

Doesn't matter where they were born. That is an A and B conversation. Washington needs to C it's way out.

If I want to sell someone a car, food, insurance, and they want to buy it, that is our business, not Washington's.

Doesn't matter where they were born. That is an A and B conversation. Washington needs to C it's way out.

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
