"reducing disparities of wealth that cause crime and disease"
how come even though I keep making more money each year, I still get sick at the same rate. One might begin to think that disease is caused by germs, and not the size of one's bank account.

"Did you know government abuses stem from our feudal attachment to property rights, which should be abolished?"
I would counter to Mr Duffee that it is precisely the lack of property rights that is the cause of many, if not most, Third World economic woes. In many African nations people can own their house but not the land underneath it, so they cannot benefit from the ability to leverage. In this reality, home equity lines, positive equity balances and wealth-building through ownership do not exist. Plus the lack of clear title and contract rules and enforcement discourage private investment almost entirely.
I would challenge Mr Duffee/Doofy to name one country that lacks property rights and also has a robust economy.

Watermelon Duffee. Hmmm.
Saw the debate online. Thanks for the link. Caught the end. They're like preppie Oprah wannabees - these congressional candidates on that stage.
You're right, the Libertarian does mop the floor with the prep-gang. He's extreme too, but he's my kind of extreme. I like him. And, really, who doesn't want to do away with the IRS?!
