so i take it that libertarian=types believe so strongly in the assumption that there is a correlation between being poor and being morally defective that they see no problem whatsoever with condemning the poor to a life of abject misery, kinda like being in jail all the time for having the bad form to be poor and not Righteous as they are--libertarians are always the Righteous it seems, and in that lay the ideology's appeal, a form of eternal self-congratulations. while living this richly deserved life of abject misery, the Poor should try to Edify themselves by thinking about how much less they are, as human beings, than those Righteous Libertarians. maybe after a long enough sentence, this Less-Thans will see the Error of their Ways and become just like you, narcissistic and patronizing armed with a surreal and ultimately infantile ideology that enables you to justify market barbarism as providing a Hard Lesson in the Righteous Life--which of course you monopolize.
the worst possible argument for libertarian ideology is actually seeing that ideology argued for, seeing what the Righteous write about their Righteousness.
