Libertarians were bottle fed neoliberalism. Neoliberalism was the true beginning of corporate/banker imperatives coming to own and control government. Neoliberalism was were the bankers took over control of our democracies. Libertarians are going even further into enabling crony capitalism - they are demonstrably incapable of even engaging in reasoned debate. Such as your comment above which fails to address let alone refute any of the assertions and arguments I made prior to it...except by attempting to dismiss them as generalisations- yes they are generalisations but that does not logically dismiss them. There are of course examples of where government can be improved - but that does not dismiss the truth inherent in generalisations above. Neoliberalism/Libertarians culture of crony capitalism opened the door to China winning the trade war and beginning the end the 500 years of global hegemony western civilisation has enjoyed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uLpICsNTV4
