If one assumes Alexander Hamilton’s purpose for our democracy is “to abolish factions and unite for the general welfare,” another question to put to a Libertarian might be, how on Earth does Libertarianism meet that purpose? The overarching purpose for Libertarians is exactly opposite to the one Hamilton gave us for our government; they are united to promote the welfare of the factions at the expense of our citizens. And that just ain’t right.
Brilliant question, Hahn! I'll toss that one at Charles one of these days when he's next on the show.
