Libertarianism doesn't call for the government to have no power... Libertarianism calls for the government to only have reactive power. That's one of the biggest misconceptions of the day. If any entity started fucking things up, and started screwing aroudn with people, they would meet with consequences that would make using such power a bad idea in the first place, just like today. Libertarianism doesn't just hand corporations the keys to the city and say "Go to town," get <I>that</I> through your head. Government would have all the powers necessary to bring a corporation down.
You're just crazy. I don't know what you were talking about earlier with the systems increasing privitization up there earlier, but I haven't had any problems with the US power grid, or as
>>46 said the medical system either as long as I pay my health insurance, it's a voluntary tax. I'm probably paying as much for it as I would be in taxes, plus I get better medical service.
And the issue of taxes, which I'll admit I haven't addressed yet. Libertarianism considers all taxes theft, and while in many ways I agree, I also consider tax neccesary to keep the government running. But when taxation is done not according to that limitation, but to hand out money in vote-buying schemes we have a problem. I don't even think the government should pay for public schools. I think there should be some sort of tuition grant from non-profit organizations to tell the truth. If you can't afford the best schools, then you just don't go. We don't need a million Da Vincis. We do need some people to run our gas stations, wal-marts ETC... though.
Get madder.
