Everyone Is Half-Libertarian
Like most Libertarians, I am occasionally asked what Libertarians believe, what they stand for or against. Since this is my only chance to make a positive Libertarian-first-impression, my preferred response is that Libertarians believe the same things they believe, since after all they are half Libertarian. To explain, I propose the following thought experiment: i magine that your worse case, your most feared, politician is in the White House, and that the same types of politicians have taken control of the Senate and House. W hat is it that you want to be forced to do or prevented from doing? How much power over your life do you want this government to have? Do you want your access to abortion taken away, or perhaps your access to guns? Do you want to be forced to donate through your taxes to building a border wall, or perhaps to donate to Plan Parenthood? Do you wish to have your speech limited if you form a corporation or forced to support speech you don’t agree
