[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1236111, member: 22662"] So here (in a small illustration) is where I can't see Libertarian ideas as plausible: Let's say I adopt such a philosophy for bbsam inc. At the end of every week, all the income is set in the middle of the table. It seems to each driver that there is plenty to go around. Each takes his "fair share" and leaves what he or she thinks is plenty for the corporation. All goes well for six months until vehicles begin to break down, not because of neglect but because as things get older, they break. But suddenly several mints of these bills cut significantly into what each driver sees as his "fair share". And although she knows the company has to survive for the good of all, she has some unexpected bills as well. Two more months go by and an increase in work comp insurance comes along. Employees at bbsam inc. Are now getting restless. The "fair share" is getting smaller and smaller until one by one, it's just not worth it. In a perfect world where all could see the big picture, maybe it works. But even in a small subset of 12 I think breakdown comes rapidly. [/QUOTE]
