Matt Zwolinski on Rand Paul equating universal health care with slavery:
[P]erhaps it’s inevitable that politicians are going to badly over-simplify moral arguments. And I suppose that if I had to choose, I’d much rather have a Senator who over-simplified in the direction of Murray Rothbard than, for instance, whatever moral philosopher Al Franken is butchering.
(As an aside, isn’t it finally time we crunched “health care” down into one word?)
