re: #213 Hecuba’s daughter

Grover expects to live in a modern society without paying his fair share to maintain the society. But as I said earlier, does anyone still take him seriously? Maybe we should all encourage him to move to a paradise like Somalia — no government there.

DINGDINGDING!! We have a winner! Libertarians and Libertarian-leaning Conservatives want to live in the modern America that Liberalism built and not pay for it. They want roads, they want police, fire, and national defense, they want disaster relief (if the disaster hits them); they don’t want people begging in the streets, they don’t want the economy going through the cycles of boom and crash it went through before 1930, they don’t want poor people dying in the streets, they don’t want old people living in cardboard boxes under bridges.

They just have no idea how to achieve that without the modern state, and they get to believe their silly fantasies that they can have all this and no taxes because nobody will ever actually put that into action.
