Interesting Bill Moyers segment on Washington corruption/lobbying

[Zebo]

I could get on with libertarianism if you could figure out how to get past unequal distribution of the benefits of ones labor. Labor is the thing that is real - wealth is largely regulated and even more so under Robber Barron monopolies at turn of century - why should owners get more of the persons labor than the man who provides it?

In case you missed it in the past: robber barons had government help. They are not a case of free market run amuck.

And it's funny to talk about redistribution of labor as a libertarian problem when it's the Democrats who are telling me that I now have to pay my neighbor's mortgage in addition to my own.

Poor Craig, he cannot see that what he is complaining about, is already happening, and has been happening for a long, long time.

It seems that the fundamental problem with modern "liberals" is that they believe government can be controlled. It's a sad delusion.

Maybe if he gets busted using his Fair Use rights, he'll see a little light when the government sides with Hollywood.
