How is that so many American libertarians fail to get the concept that you pay taxes because you benefit directly in terms of infrastructure and public services? And why do you often focus much more on social welfare "mooching", which is a miniscule amount compared to the amounts paid into corporate and military-industrial welfare?
I'm left wondering: if it ends at insulin, where does solidarity begin for you?

- justforyou 7y agoMany libertarians are generally obsessed with rejecting humanitarian principles and facilitating the suffering of others as an expression of freedom. I say this as someone with libertarian ideals who does not identify with the majority of self professed libertarians.
