Taxi drivers across the world are protesting Uber and the competition it brings to their monopolized (cartelized) industry. This has occurred in a number of cities and is currently occurring in Paris.
It’s Uber vs. taxi cartels. It’s personal choice vs. government monopolization. It’s peaceful choice of services vs. government-regulated services backed up by coercion and guns. It’s ordinary people vs. monopoly-suppliers. It’s open markets vs. controlled markets. It’s competition vs. monopoly. It’s freedom vs. slavery. It’s people vs. government. It’s people’s choice vs. cartelized taxicab drivers. It’s free markets vs. cartel-dominated markets.
The libertarian position should be clear. It’s on the side of the people and free markets.
