4. Yeeeeeaaaaah . . . but it still doesn't change the fact that
from an economic standpoint, libertarians are still deluded pro-corporatist, pro Laissez-Fail pee-pees who are wrong, wrong, incorrect WRONG. That's why I kind of get cheesed off when people suggest a connection between progressives and Libertarians. The economy and employment are important issues, and sorry to say, there still remains a giant chasm between me and men with Lipton hats on this one.

5. I have issues with libertarians on economic thoughts.
They think removing governmental power gets rid of laws. First some laws are needed for social order, for when people are not at their best to protect them from doing things that hurt people.

But they also don't realize getting rid of government does not remove laws, it just moves them to something else, in the case of Libertarians it moves them to money systems an authoritarian system.

I don't think people should get rid of government, but get the parts that do not advocate for society out of government so that it can do its job of working for the people.

Saying government should do nothing is saying people should not have an advocate in social systems. It says money should be the only rule. I agree there is to much money in government, but you don't fix that by getting rid of government, but by supporting those that support the people.
