5 Ways Libertarians Are More Tolerant Than Liberals
One of the beloved words of the left is the t-word: tolerance. But while they talk a good game, are they really that committed to it? Here are five ways libertarians are more tolerant than liberals.
1) Anti-minimum wage
As economist Walter Block states, the minimum wage “is an unemployment law [. . .] It only stipulates who CANNOT legally be employed.”
In other words, if you’re a young or relatively unskilled worker, and you think your best option is to work for a low wage, the minimum wage says you can’t get a job.
The only tolerant position here is to allow adults and young adults to make what they see as their best choices. Unfortunately, the left thinks you’re too stupid to do this.
