That's why I can't stand the cocksuckers.

Replace 'Libertarians' above with 'Democrats' or 'Republicans' and the veracity of the statement stays the same. The only difference in the second sentence is the variance between what each wants to hoard; i.e., how greed is defined.

The difference is that the libertarians, like the Koch brothers are not "in" government.  They stand on the side buying politicians who will fill their agenda.  In a normal society this would be called bribery and both the briber and bribee would be in jail.  Its naive to equate what is going on in the post Citizens United world with the paltry bribery which went on before.  We are now at the mercy of the oligarchs.
