AynRandy: No Jobs, No Food Stamps, So It's Cannon Fodder for You

I thought the Tribble-Toupeed One opposed military adventurism. But if you reject programs to create good jobs and reject programs to provide food and shelter to the unemployed, really the only place left to dump the people so irresponsible as not to arrange to have been born well-off is the military.

First, why food stamps turns farmers into slaves:

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) equated government programs that prevent people from dying of starvation with slavery in a new profile of his medical practice published today, revealing himself to hold a view of the role of government so limited as to nearly define the state out of existence.
Paul’s philosophical excursus is buried in the midst of the too-friendly-for-parody article (it ends with a patient waxing poetic about how Paul “loves people“), but the words are unmistakably Randian. “As humans, yeah, we do have an obligation to give people water, to give people food, to give people health care,” Paul allowed, “but it’s not a right because once you conscript people and say, ‘Oh, it’s a right,’ then really you’re in charge, it’s servitude, you’re in charge of me and I’m supposed to do whatever you tell me to do."
No, it doesn't make sense, it just makes a point: no food and no jobs for you suckers graduating from high school thinking that diploma entitles you to a place in the middle class.
 
But don't worry!  Senator Tribble-Head knows exactly where you belong: catching mortar fire in Syria.
