Self-Ownership Libertarianism

I will now defend my constructive case. P1. Social Freedom "Pro describes how much our freedom may increase under a SOL system; yet, he fails to justify how this is a good thing." I previously stated that this new found freedom will be within the best interests of all responsible Americans. Of course, you're also forced to give, err, less intelligent people this freedom. If the person owns their body and chooses to be mauled by a tiger willingly (which is horrible and an outrageously dumb decision), then that person has only themselves to blame. P2. Economic Freedom "Pro says that taxes would plummet--in fact, under SOL, taxes would be illegal. SOL states that we own the products of our labor, and taking away those products by force is theft. Therefore, all taxation is theft. The government could only be run through voluntary donations; so, it is completely possible that the government might not have the money to run its police, military, and judicial arms due to a lack of voluntary donations by the public it serves." Most of everything I've seen in regards to self-ownership states that taxes are not illegal under the system. Granted, Wikipedia failed to even discuss the topic of taxation and the Google search is dishearteningly void of anything useful, but I did find one thing that actually brought up the issue of self-ownership taxation. It states "...Therefore, there needs to be an exception such that when the population cannot be completely trusted to pay for the protective services of the government, it is permissible for the government to require resources of its population strictly for the purpose of protecting individual rights"[1]. "Moreover, since government cannot regulate the markets, America would likely see a repeat of the industrial horrors of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, where companies put out unsafe products, grossly underpaid their workforce, and accrued monopolies to extort exorbitant fees out of consumers. This would lower quality of life in America. With no one able to check against abuses, companies are free to abuse." The 'industrial horrors' of the Industrial Revolution includes: -Greatest economic growth in history at the time -Prices falling due to rise in productivity -Led to shifting away from agriculture -Sparked up inventions that affected American life until WWII -Creation of the middle class *All of this = [2]* While there were negatives of this, such as a rise in unemployment caused by the new machinery able to replace factory workers and poor sanitary conditions (caused by lack of consumer education and knowledge of pollution & health), life was generally improved during the Industrial Revolution. Also, if a corporation decided to underpay their workers, there is nothing stopping them from forming a labor union to demand higher wages. It isn't backed or endorsed by the government, but there is strength in numbers. Demanding increased wages for yourself is all a part of the beauty of capitalism - making that sweet dough. History contradicts your claims of high prices, low wages, and quality products. Prices actually went down due to the rise in productivity and efficiency, wages were actually increased in many areas, and increased mechanization improved the quality of goods produced. "... Both the number of unskilled and skilled workers increased, as their wage rates grew." [2] [1] http://www.limitedgovernment.org... [2] http://en.wikipedia.org...
