Sick of hearing nonsense from Libertarians? Me too, this made my evening. What a righteous rant!

1. I agree.
Having had some encounters with Libertarians, they sometimes take the cake.

However, I think we have a problem with the representation about taxation right now. I mean, just who is it that is representing us, (and even some wealthy people) concerning our will to tax the rich and the corporations? We've gone from corporations funding 30-percent of government via taxes to just over 6-percent today. Meanwhile, various states are seeing increases for the lower-income wage earners while cutting taxes to the wealthy even more. That part is not working right at all, today.

Considering how many batshit talking points, (in fact they have a whole alternate Universe worth) Libertarians have to offer, I think there should have been a little less focus in that rant about some aspects of the tax situation concerning the above. That is, if he wanted to make a stronger point.

3. I thought they were just Republicans who are embarrassed to
admit they're Republicans. Or is that just Independents?
