YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWelcome to Ask a Libertarian 2012 with Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt
Welch. They are the authors of the book The Declaration of Independents:
How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America, coming out in
paperback later this month. Pre-order:
On June 12, 2012 Gillespie and Welch used short, rapid-fire videos to
answer dozens of reader questions submitted via email, Twitter, Facebook,
and Reason.com.
In this episode, they answer the question:
"When I purchased my home at the crest of the housing crash, our town was paying first time home buyers $3,000 toward closing costs, no questions asked. I just walked into town hall and got free money without asking them where it came from. I have since been wondering if this is something that a libertarian should avoid on principle. Should
I repay the town... on principle?"
Produced by Meredith Bragg, Jim Epstein, Josh Swain, and Tracy Oppenheimer
with help from Katie Hooks.
