Yeah, the criticism of libertarianism as something that “sounds good in theory” but could never work because people are inherently evil doesn’t stand. Libertarianism isn’t completely anti-government. It’s anti-federal government. If you see it fit to raise taxes or create new taxes, ban immigration, take guns away from law-abiding citizens and/or, generally, turn the U.S. into a continental European social democracy then do so on the state level. Or, even better, on an even more local level. Look at New York city, for instance. They’ll lock you up for any minor infraction. Philadelphia is considering the Stop-and-Frisk nonsense in the bad neighborhoods. D.C. took all the guns away (which, to my knowledge, hasn’t done anything to gun crime stats). If that’s what you want to do, then that’s what you want to do and the voters have every right to turn their cities into places no sensible person would ever want to live in. All the libertarians beg of you is to leave us Vegas. Please, leave us California, leave us somewhere where the smart, fun, responsible and creative conservatives can go.
