You are conflating multiple issues.
Being a legal literalist is not the same as being a libertarian.

What you are advocating is what the Wahhabis did in Saudi Arabia. Islam is more of a legal code than a religion. The Wahhabis made the same argument as you and called for a return to the original text of Islam. As a result they are stuck in a different millennia.

The law is a living breathing thing. If you hold it back to centuries past, the society will stagnate. And this is to say nothing about the irony of slavers declaring all men are imbued with inalienable rights and are equal. Which is to say the law was never applied fully and equally to everyone, even when it was first written.

As to the government inefficiency. I am all for having a minimalist and efficient *functioning* government. But this does not mean that I will approve of a government that is in the pocket of big business and leaves the field open to them to prey on the individual.

My last pointer on this paragraph is to look up who and why pushed for waste in the government by preventing it from striking a collective bargaining for medical care.

'nuff said.
