Again, you are getting the GROUP and the INDIVIDUAL confused. Take an honest look at an office building and think about what makes it run. Somebody has to do the landscaping. Somebody has to clean the toilets. Somebody has to work at the cafeteria. Those jobs aren't going to earn high wages. Maybe the person is lazy. Maybe they are doing this for the short term. Maybe this is the person's fullest potential. People who do those jobs may move on to bigger and better things but that crappy job remains.
My interpretation is that a libertarian sees these people and thinks "that sucks" and moves on. I think that this is an unethical way to build a nation.
