My concern is that there has not been and that there is no indication that there will be....a backlash by the masses in reaction to the uneven and still worsening....distribution of wealth statistics in the US. IMO, libertarians intend, if they achieve political power.....only to achieve even more drastic inequality in the distribution of wealth....their acquisition of political power may only be possible because of their intent to bring about a status quo that will favor the already drastically over favored...those who have bought the politcal representation away from the influence of the most of us.
Why have we let this happen to the most of us, and why are we so accepting of it, and seeming to want more? Will the line be drawn at the ballot box, or with armed action by the common man?

Because to a majority of Americans, it is more important that they be 'left alone', receive their government stipend, and continue to go to work for their families than it is to speak up and be heard or, god forbid, actually vote out of the mainstream(face it, it's both parties screwing us over) or vote from the rooftops. To most of these people, it is better to be ruled as subjects than it is to fight for freedom.
In fact, if you want a real eye opener, watch America: from freedom to fascism
