The tea party likes to think they're libertarians. Unfortunately, most of them couldn't even tell you what it means to be a libertarian. Libertarianism is a selfish idealogy. It is a selfish, mean spirited philosophy doomed to failure, any culural anthropologist will tell you that all people within a society are interdependent upon one another. Life is a balancing act and calls for checks and balances to keep it healthy. Sometimes calls for a focus on the individual to effectuate the greatest good. Other times call for a bolstering of the health of the collective to keep things humming in the general direction toward progress. Make one the ultimate master of the other and a shit storm will follow.
It promotes division between the haves and have-nots. The only welfare offered by the quintessential libertarian is that in times of need, pray harder and good luck. Economically it is survival of the fittest, and ignores the fact that humanity is endowed with more than a lizard?s brain. Love and compassion for humanity and our planet don?t fit into the libertarian minset from what I can tell.
Unless you're a fucking multi-millionare you shouldn't be a libertarian, and even then you should question your morals, really evaluate yourself and think about what kind of legacy you'd like to leave behind when you die.
