Libertarians want you to be free to live your life as you want to live it, just as long as you don't intrude on somebody else's person or property. Libertarians think you go to work everyday, so you ought to keep the money that you earn. If the politicians want some of that money, they ought to ask for it instead of taking it by force. This is what separated America from the rest of the world. All of that has been lost in the United States.
Politicians decide everything.
They decide how much of your income you are going to be allowed to keep, they decide how big your toilet is going to be, they decide how your child's school is going to be run, how your health insurance company has to treat you. They make all the rules. And as a result, America is no different from any other country in the world. I was born in New York City, grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Tennessee five years ago. I have also lived in Switzerland, Canada and California.
