Again, you're arguing against Libertarianism by criticizing government!!!

Libertarians don't want to fix ANYONE. That's the entire *point* of 
Libertarianism. I think you need to do some reading.

We're better off with less authority in the hands of more people. There's 
nothing magical about it. This is the principal America was founded on 
before we all started trying to "fix" each other. And I don't fear 
government, I fear an unrestrained majority of people who "know better than 
I do."

ps. The regulation you're so fond of? What you don't know--and may never 
fully realize unless you run a business--is that regulation is like a poll 
tax: it's a speed bump to the rich, a road block to the middle class, and a 
BRICK WALL to the poor. Regulation is necessary to protect our shared 
resources, but regulation has to be minimal because it INCREASES INCOME 
INEQUALITY. Think some of these things through before you start deciding 
what's best for your neighbors.
