I have always been fascinated by the Libertarian postion. It is the ultimate in me, me, me.
I like to think that our civiliation in better than that. I like to beleive that we can work to achieve individual greatness. I also believe that we can work together as democracies to raise the standard of living for all (better roads, schools, utilites, etc.) through fair taxation.
I am not talking absolutes. This is not economic equality. This is not ballet dancers being forced to wear lead shoes.
But there will always be those who want to take care of themselves only and there are those that will strive to get as much for as little. There will always be extremes at either end of any spectrum.
Thankfully, the majority of people live somewhere in the middle.
