Only free people have an incentive to be virtuous. Only people who bear the consequences of their own acts will care about those consequences and try to learn from their mistakes.

Forcing people to be generous isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only acts that are truly voluntary for all concerned can be truly compassionate.

Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.

The first need of a free people is to define their own terms.

Anything that's for free, people will take. They don't discriminate.

Nothing is compulsory. Free will is paramount. But free will comes with the burden of consequences.
