Have you ever considered that some of us have become libertarian precisely because we're concerned with increasing inequality?
Let's not forget that government:
* Are the other end of "spending on lobbying"
* Are the buyers of "expensive military goods"
* Create the concept of corporations, and gives tax breaks to them ("corporate welfare")
* Give sweetheart deals to political favorites
* Lock up citizens for non-violent offenses, denying them the chance to earn a living
* Allow and promote regulatory capture, which forbids many smart, driven individuals from challenging current business leaders.
The sooner we can get government out of business, the fairer and more equal things will be for everyone.
