Because, under your 'utopia', we never would have had the civil rights movement. Or woman's suffrage. Or gay marriage.

If that's what you believe my utopia leads to, then you're completely misunderstanding my worldview. The principal of non-aggression means no one would be allowed to enslave or suppress anyone else. Period. Everyone has equal rights: black, female, gay, whatever.

Except, of course, the wealthy.

No, sorry, you're confused with our current system of centralized power in the hands of a few who doll out rewards to their crony friends.

Who gets the money printed by the Federal Reserve first? Banks, where wealthy bankers then loan the money to others who are wealthy enough to be accepted for the loans. By the time the money reaches the poor and needy, inflation has already taken hold.
