Libertarianism is not Anarchism
[Read the article: Ron Paul's Internet cha-ching ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Common fallacy made by libertarian critics--that less government is no government. In the case of RP, he argues that there should be more local and state government, and solutions to societal problems, than a "fit-all" federal government. Why the emphasis on Federal solutions when they are exactly the most inefficient ways to fix things? -- simple, because it is easier to get the most money (through lobbying) that way.
Yes, there are problems to solve but why pay fifteen people to do the job that one or two could do, and try to amalgamate need rather than focus it where it is needed? Visit history, and read some Federalist Papers and Friedrich von Hayek while you are at it.
On the major topics he espouses, he uses historical fact, which is more than I can say for the rest of the blowhards on either side. A lot of promises with nothing to back them up. Vote RP!
