Why Not a Civilian Discount?
November 6, 2013
This home rental application offers an “active duty military discount.” Okay, fine. I believe in freedom and the free market. So why not a civilian discount? Imagine the outrage if someone offered a discount on anything to only civilians. As a libertarian, I would go even further. How about a discount for just blacks or just whites? The very people that support the military discounts would have a fit.
