Every movement is susceptible to corruption. Even libertarians, who tend to believe in limited government or limiting the aggregation of power, can be full of bad actors using this mantra of ‘reducing government’ just to remove regulatory constraints so they can pursue their own version of aggregation of power (unrestrained capitalism). The key is to prevent aggregation of too much power in all forms, otherwise its ’meet the new boss…same as the old boss’
Completely agree. But the Libertarians have been especially egregious in corrupting the US government and are among the biggest hypocrites regarding what they pretend to stand for. The Koch Brothers were a scourge upon the American public - were the epitome of Elite one percenters waging war on workers and the economic freedoms of the majority of Americans. And they did it by funding many secret organizations.
Scott Walker was a corrupt goon - was in constant assault mode on working poor Americans, opposed any kind of mass transportation, was anti-abortion, was an opponent of same-sex marriage, gave huge tax breaks to corporations while eviscerating government programs, rejected even the bullshit Health Care Exchange program for Wisconsin. Walker was corrupt as the day was long when he was governor - and the LIBERTARIAN Koch brothers funded his ass every which way from SUNDAY.
Yeah Ron Paul has been great for the top 1%. Trillions of tax breaks for them - but don't worry, it's going to trickle down soon.
And yeah, let's eliminate FEMA as well. Great idea. You're on your own folks - if a tornado hits. Who needs civilization anyway? Let's all live like apes again - just keep the filthy rich happy.
I'm on a bit of a warpath today. Only had 5 hours sleep. Luckily, didn't have a shitty ass job to go to - like I had to go to for 40 years of my life. So there's that. Cheers!

I would define the Koch’s as garden variety crony capitalists. I might suggest that Ron Paul is your more traditional libertarian

Ha! Not saying I agree with libertarians. Everything in moderation. Sheesh
