I like a lot of the Libertarian ideas I've heard. The reason that libertarianism will not get the support it needs and will not work for us is because there are too many people that would rather sit on their ass and wait for their hand out. I think it is misleading to say that libertarian thought cares little for community. If everyone is working to do the best for themselves then they are doing what they need to do to help their community, by not being a burden on anyone else. WRT taxes, I think their main beef is with the income tax. Where the government basically steals your money before you even see it. You have traded your time, your life, for that money, and they just take it and flush it down the toilet. The biggest aspect that attracts me to the libertarian party, besides the fact that it is not the republican or democrat party, is that libertarianism defaults to freedom. Meaning that regardless of whether or not someone else agrees with what you do it is your right to do it. Want to have an abortion? I don't agree with it, but it is your life, go ahead. Want to smoke a joint? Smoke away. Basically, as long as you are not hurting anyone else, then enjoy YOUR life the way YOU want to.
