+My standard will be following the principles of libertarianism including non-interference which argues that the government should never interfere in the affairs of people except to eliminate people’s aggression between each other and property which argues that the government doesn’t have the right to take a person’s property except to guarantee their rights of non-interference. |

+2. The Government is an inherently immoral institution- It has a worse track record than the worst criminals. Expanding its power only affirms its legitimacy and puts more power in its hands to coerce and enslave others. |

|

+The only justifiable function of the government is to protect citizen rights of non-interference. |

+3. The libertarian value of property is a necessity for life which in turn is a prerequisite to any other framework. Thus, all other frameworks necessitate a libertarian philosophy. |

+Next, I will present my contentions.
1. It is not the taxpayer’s fault that a person is homeless, meaning by libertarianism, the taxpayer doesn’t have the moral obligation to remedy the problem. |

+2. The Aff right to housing is equal to moral cannibalism- It sucks on the honest fruits of labor of others and justifies the intervention of the government. |
