They certainly seem like your kind of people: none of them seem able to write a coherent sentence to save their life, for a start. Is the libertarian wonderland going to be populated by these blockheads?
If so, then do let me know when a market full of morons becomes available, each and every one expecting to become rich in the next couple of years, all convinced of their personal superiority and most importantly: all unprotected by a judiciary system that makes it illegal to mercilessly scam, defraud and otherwise cheat them.
I'm somehow not surprised that AynMisesLibertarian is impressed by the intellectual depth of YouTube comments.

I'm starting to wonder if people like AML exist to distract us from the effective asshole libertarians actually getting their horrible ideas made into laws by behind the scenes maneuvering.

Or maybe it's not so much a distraction, so much as that AML's argumentum ad youtubium is a genuine threat, and we are in danger of being overwhelmed by impenetrable ignorance and pants-shitting stupidity. Individual idiocy can be refuted, but nobody can stand against a tsunami of horseshit. I'm starting to understand why the zombie apocalypse genre is still going strong.

A sort of Gish Gallop in terms of number of arguers rather than merely number of arguments?

I suppose they'll have to apologise over the guy who starved to death too. It probably won't bother them too much or cause them to change their policies though.
Dude, stop knocking the pablum spoon out of the poor baby's mouth for a minute and maybe, just maybe, people might have a different view of your assholishness. Probably not, but it might be worth a try.

Legislation declared with in the legislation itself as "being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is hereby declared to exist" by the Republican powers that be in Oklahoma. What sort of emergency? Cities passing a minimum wage law that would raise the minimum wage. They must move quickly to prohibit this dangerous behavior in the state because human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria are about to break outthere is a petition in Oklahoma City to raise that city's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour soon to be circulated. Oklahoma's current minimum wage law matches that of the federal government, $7.25 per hour.

Even the rich aren't really rich.
Ok this isn't really about the poors, but it's an example of how the appearance of being rich is outpacing actual richness. I've been wondering for awhile if there's actually a partial scheme to make it appear that there's more rich people than reality so the american ream of being rich by one's bootstraps doesn't fade. Afterall L'wren Scott wasn't actually rich she was just borrowing it from the real 1% to keep up appearances. Scott’s suicide reveals tragic side of city’s glitzy scene | New York Post

When our friends in the GOP make up their minds about something, by golly they stick to it! This is called “principles,” and it is just the right thing to do. Recently, their number one most important principle has become “don’t let Barack Obama get credit for raising the minimum wage,” and so they have gone to work trying to persuade the American people that the minimum wage — which is $7.25 in the United States of America — is theft. Theft of the people’s labor, right? Hahahahahahaha you are HILARIOUS. No no no, the minimum wage is theft from the owners, the job creators, the — what the French should thank us for naming — entrepreneurs. Also, theft from everyone who has to pay more than twenty-nine cents for a hamburger. Or a shirt.
So the GOP, in addition to writing off Mexicans, black people, gays, and the 51 percent of the population that looks really nice in that dress — what, you can’t even pay a compliment anymore? — has decided they STILL have too many darned votes. So now they will write off everyone making less than [s]Melissa[/s] Marissa Mayer, and are going around having town halls where they get to tell minimum wage workers that they are too rich and they are taking money out of the mouths of poor CEOs and COOs and CFOs and … um … compensation boards? you know, all those guys, who can barely put Lamborghinis on their families. Good times, you guys.
snark provided because it's the only way I can deal with this kind of shit without my head exploding. And yes, it's pretty much an accurate summary

You may already know that The Daily Mail is a British right-wing tabloid newspaper that makes Murdoch's The Sun look like The Washington Post, and often fires salvos in the war against the poor.

tl;dr: he wants to cut welfare because poors should just get jobs, despite the fact that there are over two million people applying for a million jobs. This is probably a feature, not a bug.
