Government is sociopolitically motivated toward socialism.

Fish AnalogyIt is the government's call about whether or not fishin is a stable industry... Maybe the government wishes to make it a stable industry. But the government, in order to do this, forces you to pay money for the schooling of another man. Basically, in order to get even partially refunded on the money stolen from him by the teacher, he HAS to get an education from the teacher... Because if he got it in the private sector, he woud have to pay an extra sum. This can be called the coercive, self-interested influence of the government. And let us remember that without competition, the teacher (or government) has little incentive to provide high quality service--and certainly the services will be of lesser quality than those of the private sector... but we are forced to pay for them.Free MarketMy pal Milton Friedman has a response to your baseless claim. See attached video.http://www.youtube.com...The ResolvedNo. In our non-ideal world, employers would not be able to pay slave wages, because there is competition among businesses to pay fitting salaries to productive, effective employees. Indeed, minimum wage laws do cause an increase in teenage unemployment. This is because their labor often tends to be worth less than minimum wage; this is because it is unskilled labor and because they lack experience, so they are uncompetitive applicants in the hiring pool. My opponent argues that this incentivizes education, and this is valuable. We have seen what happens when unrealistic emphasis is put on higher education. Today, our higher education industry is a bubble that is preparing to burst. As tuition prices skyrocket, the value of a degree goes down. 53% of recent college grads are jobless or unemployed. [1] Artificially incentivizing higher education through minimum wage laws is an abysmal idea.A) But a private insurance company will act in its own interest against insurance companies that compete with it. As opposed to government-run social security functions, transactions with private insurance companies are voluntary rather than forced. B) Some jobs require experience that an elderly person can have a lot of... Accounting, for example. If you're talking about physical labor, then businesses should work in their interest, rather than be obligated to hire specific people. That is what, in the end, leads to overall economic prosperity and efficiency. C) Socialists uphold government welfare, and they believe that charity undermines the platform of socialism by privatizing charity. And the reason private charities are superior is that they receive capital voluntarily, not through government force. And in a society with a free market and little government intervention, people would far more money to give to charity. SocialismCapitalism and the free market emphasize the individual; they are based on free choice and the ability to propel oneself to the top or bottom of the society through free will and work. Socialism keeps social order at a standstill and uses coercion and force to maintain societal functions. My opponent proceeds to cite a pro-socialism website as a source, which presents no hard data or justified claim.Again, free market > SocialismVote Con[1] http://www.theatlantic.com...
