Quote by Harry Browne
Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympathy for less fortunate people. But they know you can't have perfection in a world of limited resources.
Summary
This quote reflects the perspective of Libertarians who believe in limited government intervention and emphasize individual liberty. It acknowledges that while Libertarians do have empathy and sympathy for those who are less fortunate, they recognize the practical constraints of living in a world with limited resources. In other words, they understand that achieving perfection in the distribution of resources and outcomes may not be possible without compromising individual freedoms. This belief guides their approach to welfare and social policies, advocating for a more limited role of government in addressing societal issues.
