Qu’il envisage le ’libertarien’ ou autre chose, tout ce long article ne développe que des perspectives utilitaristes. Dommage !
Jadis, les rhéteurs reconnus savaient se montrer plus sobres et percutants.
Citons, par exemple :

ou encore, plus récent :
"One of the commonest things to do with savings is to lend them to some
Government.
In view of the fact that the bulk of the public expenditure
of most civilized Governments consists in payment for past wars or
preparation for future wars, the man who lends his money to a Government
is in the same position as the bad men in Shakespeare who hire
murderers.
The net result of the man’s economical habits is to increase
the armed forces of the State to which he lends his savings. Obviously
it would be better if he spent the money, even if he spent it in drink
or gambling.
