New York Times article teaser: "The Goldwater Institute, a libertarian think tank, plays an outsize role in setting the agenda in Arizona and is helping set up similar litigation outfits elsewhere."
Would that the news media and politicians would deep six the "libertarian" label!
The only real "libertarians" in the U.S. live in a cave and never come out. Everyone else benefits every day from government benefits and services, including the roads they drive on, safe commercial flight, potable water, breathable air, and so much more that makes for healthy, convenient, sustainable living that taxes fund and is made possible by those "regulations" they hate so much. All these so-called libertarians really want is the freedom to do whatever heck they want without having to pay for it and without regard to the harm to any/everyone else.I'm way too conservative to want my taxes to fund these wanna-be freeloaders follies.
