Were Libertarians beaten by their parents?

What else could cause the problem?

Update:

Or is it just that crackers don't like the gummint helping the darkies?

Update 2:

Can a Libertarian imagine a federal government spending without taxation? That's what we call deficit spending. Why oppose the spending if there is no taxation?

Update 3:

    government is important. a large government is dangerous, but so is a small/inferior government. I think that the libertarian model would work if every single person was responsible, self reliant, and considerate. I cannot wrap my head around how they expect it to work.

I do not feel I'm properly represented by Any political party, but Marxist ideals, tyranny, and all attempts to pretend an economy can be created from nothing with any Value are just WRONG! so I reject all political or economic ideas that promote those absurdities.

    Most libertarians have never actually supported themselves, it's a college phase for people from privileged backgrounds. They grew up living off their parents and like to pretend their life of ease is earned.

    Discipline and teaching self responsibility would cure the low civil respect of liberalism.

    Without knowing it you might have found the cure to liberalism, tan their self loathing tails til they learn to care.

    Liberty only became a dirty word in this country when liberals became socialists.
