That’s true – libertarians say they would cut all welfare taxes (in their theoretical world). In the real world, where real people live, taxes will continue to rise where there is unwed mother promiscuity, period.
So is it a wise to look the other way? Why are libertarians so silent on this issue? I wish they were as LOUD about marijuana rights as they were about responsibility. (Read Ann Coulter’s Guilty for the long version.)
“In the real world, where real people live, taxes will continue to rise where there is unwed mother promiscuity, period.”
It is that belief in the inevitability of welfare that is the real problem. You’ve confused libertarians with the squishy “compassionate conservative” or the “progressive left.” Libertarians are perfectly willing to let people live with the consequences of their own decisions.
