Yeah, hence why I was railing against what I call "pure-strain" libertarians. The ones who are just pro-privatization of everything.
I guess I profess more to personal libertarianism, as opposed to professional libertarianism. I think the government shouldn't have a say in how you run your own life. But the thing is, corporations aren't people. Trying to say that corporations should have freedom to do what they want is just not true; they should not because they have a lot of god-damn power over a lot of people. Power must always be checked.
And, honestly, when people say that 80%+ taxes on the rich are just too harsh, I just scoff. If anything, such high taxes are actually in the vested interest of the free market in many, many ways, and if anyone REALLY wants me to explain, I can. And it won't be an entire novel like a certain post was.
