roach, I think it's the definition of "just" that's at issue with a lot of people, myself included. Most people understand that capital projects like roads, military, etc. are a function of government and must be paid for with some sort of tax base (some previous posters notwithstanding). I think that the Libertarian ( and old school Conservative) train of thought is that what is "just" is based on personal effort, not need. You get what you earn, not what you lack. Marx told us to provide to each as his need, but it never worked out that way, did it?
