No, he said restructure society so that they were taken care of in a libertarian way - not by the government but by a societal kind of mandatoryness - play nice or leave kinda thing. That's still no-government, and still therefore not really mandatory.

God, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have all freedoms in one politcal government. It is my freedom to make as much money at the expense of others and it is also my freedom to persue happiness which is impossible when I have to work two minimum wage jobs to feed my children. These two scenarios can not work together so you will either have to pick one or try to find the middle ground between them.

Under what scenario involving the 'freedom to make as much money at the expense of others' are you forced to have children and support them with two minimum wage jobs?

Ummm.....America right now. If you don't think that it is damn near impossible for some people to get out of poverty you are very naive.
