If only all libertarians were like you, this world would be a better place. I'm tired of some of my libertarian friends refusing to pay their taxes because government is an illegal institution or whatever. If you don't like the way its run, vote for someone who will change it. Simple as that. Democracy makes it so that socialism is ineviatable. Whenever a poor person has just as much power as a rich one, policies will reflect that. When there are 100 times more poor people than rich people, the poor will even the playing field. True demacracy makes the situation where the highest percent of people are happy with their lives, and personally, I see that as a good thing.
ps - libertarians are for open boarders yet very very few immigrants would be pro libertarian. Just a thought.
