ART ONE: the freedom to choose Sandel introduces the libertarian concept of individual rights that only a minimal state is justified. Libertarians argue that the government should not have the power to enact laws that: 1) to protect people from themselves, such as seat belt laws, 2) impose on some people and moral values in society as a whole or 3) redistributing income from rich to poor. Sandel explains the libertarian notion that redistributive taxation is similar to hard laborreferences to Bill Gates and Michael Jordan. PART TWO: Who owns me? Libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick argues that taxing the rich to pay for housing, health and education for the poor is a form of coercion. Students first discuss the arguments behind the redistributive taxation. there are more poor people who need social services are to survive? If you live in a society that has a progressive tax system, they arent forced to pay taxes? Not manythe rich often purchase their wealth through luck or fortune of the family? A group of student volunteers called Team libertarian libertarian philosophy to defend against these objections.
