Yes, but over the years the Libertarians have gotten more corporate Supremest than what they started out. They used to be for the little guy, now they are more for big business.

A true Libertarian is for unfettered markets and against the violence of coersion. What's "hopeless" about that?

Because they move their businesses over seas and hire undocumented immigrants while they are still in this country.

Libertarians are like republicans in that respect, they would rather pay the cheapest wage instead of paying what the Job is worth.

How sweet of you! They're going to be lookin for real estate agents in Nevada as soon as the pot bill passes, not as if we're not already overcrowded. Now instead of Mexicans invading, It'll be all the potheads from Ca. and points east! I'm trying to figure out a way to get rich behind this so I can live in your neighborhood, well actually, I don't think I'd like it there! I've heard about those homeowners associations, and they can all fuck off! If I want to work on my car in the driveway, fuck all the sons-a-bitches who say not! Hey, is that not the libertarian view!

Sorta sounds like libertarianism is like Anarchy, everyone for themselves and screw the next guy, as in I've got mine, fuck you and I'll fight to the death to defend it. Everyone owns themselves and no-one can tell anyone what to do, yup anarchy for sure!!! That form of non-governance would promote chaos. I guess there would have to be alliances between the successful to defend against the unlucky beggars, then you'd have to invent some form of law, (property law for sure), and then you'd have to have enforcers of that law, and to pay the enforcers, you'd have to tax someone, might as well be the poor, and if they didn't pay you'd have a debtors prison so the people would turn to drugs and you could incarcerate them etc. etc., wait, I think that is exactly what we have now, it's called aristocracy, where the rich few, rule the many poor, so now I get it, your happy with what Bush is doing because you're on the winning side of the aristocracy, why didn't I think of that?

That is about the extent of it med. Except over the past few years, they have become corporate supremist.

If you don't own yourself, who does?

Either the Devil Or God, I think I can guess which one owns you. One of them owns your old wrinkly ass, and I know one of them owns mine, If I didn't know you better I'd of said the IRS! Hell I probably paid more taxes than you last year, anyway, Ive already explained this, so pay attention!
