Libertarians make the argument that the government is a threat to liberty because it employs “men with guns” who can rob you of your life and freedom. Without getting into that tired debate, I would just like to make one observation: for most Americans, the greatest threat to their freedom comes from “men with pink slips” not men with guns, particularly now. (These men with pink slips, by the way, are exalted by “free market” worshipers of all philosophical bents.)Hullabaloo
