I guess it is all about how you want to live. If you want to live in a place where there are no safety nets, and where capitalism has few breaks on it- you have no further to look than the 3rd world. For those libertarians who think that sounds like paradise- there it is- rampant polution- along with contaminated food and water- serious issues with beggars, class violence, and often kidnappings. Sound like paradise little liberterians? You know where to go. But no, they don't want to go- they want to make the US like that. Go figure.
