We tried it your way for thousands of years and it didn't work. The most libertarian age in the last 2,000 years was 450 AD to 1,000 AD. almost no government at all.

They called it the DARK AGES-lol!!

As my daughter pointed out. libertarianism never works because a strongman will always come in to fill the void.

History: Look up gilded age (late 1800's) when the rich and powerful controlled everything. Teddy Roosevelt had to beat them back.

Then again in the 20's and FDR had to beat them back.

During the great depression people were literally starving to death and in great misery until the government came along and helped them out. Some like you were against it.

And social security raised millions of women out of abject poverty. Isn't that important?

That is history. Look it up. And that is why the smart people like scientists reject your conservative philosophy and accept the liberal philosophy.

You theory is a myth. Scientists know this!
