I had to laugh at this because it's so hypocritical. On one hand you say Libertarians "want fewer taxes and government interference" then in the next breath "government needs to..... and reward with....."

Wait a minute, less control over people's lives, but "encourage healthier lifestyles"? Which is it and how do you "encourage" such a thing?

Now, if you are taxing the bare minimum, which you say true Libertarians want..... then how do you "lower" taxes for someone living an "encouraged lifestyle"? And what if they are doing so because they chose to not because government "encouraged" them to.

Who pays for the lower taxes? the "prizes"? etc.? I see those who do not live by what the government "encourages". So if the Butter lobbyists came in spread big money and the government decided Butter was healthy again and margerine was evil and caused death but I didn't buy into that and want to stay with my "Country Crock margerine". I would get taxed to Hell because I chose to live my life the way I wanted to.

Thank God you aren't in control. I admit the Dems and the GOP are warped at times and are huge hypocrites. But damn, if what you describe is libertarianism and I am even half way right in my assessment.... I'd rather have 2 more years of BushCo and GOP scandals.

And trust me 2 more years of Bushco and GOP scandals scares me but not nearly half as much as what I see coming out of Libertarians mouths.

I voted for Democrats. Under Dems, yes, social services spending goes up, but education flourishes, jobs are more abundant, and people, believe it or not are freer to do what they want.

Under GOP rules, military spending skyrockets with the attitude everything else will either catch up or die out, the people don't matter in the grand scheme of things it's all about control.
