Political and Philosophical Questions

Some interesting questions that have really been changing the way I think about politics lately:

Are poor people to blame for their monetary situation?
Are rich people to blame for their monetary situation?
If different reactions, why?

Is it the government's job to bail out large companies?
Is it the government's job to bail out individuals?
If different reactions, why?

What counts as a bailout? (Social Security? Medicaid? Pro-business regulations and subsidies?)

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "A healthy society involves the use of no coercive force."

(For following examples, "freedoms" or "rights" are assumed to stop where another person's begins.)
Coercive force applied to freedom of speech is acceptable/unacceptable. When one vs the other? (For instance, is it one person's job to PAY for another person to have the ability to speak freely).
Coercive force applied to freedom of movement is acceptable/unacceptable. When one vs the other? (For instance, is it one person's job to PAY for another person to have the ability to move freely).
Coercive force applied to freedom of property (the right to claim ownership of something) is acceptable/unacceptable. When one vs the other? (For instance, is it ok to take money? What about land or a house? A car? Who has the right to take money/land/a car?).

Who has the right to use coercive force? (In most places, the reality is that it is more or less the monopoly of the government.)

What is a government? (should be vs actually is)
Who is part of a government? (should be vs actually is)
Who controls a government? (should control vs actually controls)

Ok, so I have some replies to these things, but I don't want to just post them here. I want some people to actually think about these questions. It'd be AWESOME if someone typed up their thoughts, but so long as some people read this and kind of think about their ideas, that's good.

Something I know I care about is having a consistent approach to the world. I try not to overdo it - I think trying too hard to be conscientiously consistent can lead to indecisiveness of a ridiculous extent. But I think these questions made me think about things from a slightly different perspective, and reevaluate how consistent my beliefs actually were.

Looking forward to some interesting discussions with whoever reads this!
