Should My Wordless Kid Go to School with Your Normal Child?
Wow! Some people here seem to fit the definition of ‘extreme libertarian’. You know the ones; they rant on and on about how parents of the disabled expect everyone else to pay for them.
I have a message for this type of person. Go and focus your efforts on stopping the government’s military adventures, shrinking the military industrial complex, ending corporate welfare, and ending pork-barreling, because these are MUCH MUCH MUCH higher on the libertarian hit-list than taxpayer’s money being used to help educate disabled kids.
Once you’ve achieved this, and everyone’s tax bills have halved (or even quartered), ONLY THEN can you rant and rave about not wanting your tax dollars to support the disabled (which would reduce your tax bill by an insignificant amount).
Perhaps while your ranting about all of these damn selfish people with their disabled kids and their sense of entitlement, you can rant and rave about reducing policing of high crime areas; after all, it *should* be up to those who live in a high crime area to do something about it, right? I mean, they chose to live there, didn’t they. How dare they expect that society pay for armed men to protect them? In a free society, they’d just move.
What about all those rich people in the Malibu fires. I mean, our tax dollars went to save their houses, when they damn well knew they were living in a fire-prone area. Freeloaders!
(Note, I don’t agree with the ‘less policin’, ‘no fire department’, etc… attitudes that I posted… I posted them to demonstrate that this extreme approach to libertarianism, when consistently applied, would change society enormously; some say for the better, but when taken to an extreme, I say it’s as damaging as any other form of extremism).
Frankly, most of these extreme libertarian types (note that libertarianism is OK by me, just not the extreme form) would be the first to scream blue murder if what they wanted came to pass, and they had a disabled child.
