A Libertarian/Conservative view vs. reality

A former frequent contributor to these Boards claimed to be a Libertarian/Conservative and strongly voiced the opinion there should be NO government regulation of business. The marketplace would adjust itself to the optimal configurations and provide the best, cheapest, most efficient services to the community. I believe that is a fair description of their frequently stated opinion.

And yet that contributor was unemployed, and lived off the earnings of a handicapped spouse whose employment was in a Union job made possible by government regulations forcing the employer to accommodate the handicap.

That Libertarian/Conservative would seem to be hypocritical and an ungrateful wretch busily biting both hands which fed them. So watch what is done, not what people say.

(By the way, if employers were willing to accommodate the handicap, no laws would be necessary.)
