There you go bringing facts and rationality into the argument. DOOM
IS NIGH, man. What's a little fib or exaggeration in the face of
IMPENDING DISASTER?!
As I've said before, I was surprised at how little tax I paid last
year. I'm happy to pay taxes to receive the benefits I get from the
government. I don't believe, despite libertarian rhetoric to the
contrary, that I'd get them from the private sector.
Anyway, I'm certainly frustrated with the tremendous amounts of money
wasted by the government as well as the monumental cost of the 'War on
Terror', but not frustrated enough to advocate full-on libertarianism.
I don't really think it would be an improvement in the long run.
