Ron Paul suggests basic freedoms depend on property rights

And here we come to what is my biggest problem with the libertarian philosophy. If you pay attention, you realize libertarianism elevates property rights above what most sane, rational people would say are inalienable human rights. It’s narcissism elevated to a political philosophy, and no matter how you dress it up, it’s just plain wrong.

Also, it would never work.
