Meanwhile in the real world, libertarians have little political power or influence. None of the "uber-rich" in power are libertarian.
The 'middle-class' and poor have no resources and little time to counter the uber-rich. The middle class gains nothing from giving up government protection.
Therefore libertarianism is enables the uber-rich.
And btw, the Koch brothers are very much libertarians and they very much have a lot of power.
Ah yes because the _impoverished_ Democrats are fighting for the common man! It's only with the current administration that the "uber-rich" have taken over.
Give me a break. Partisan hacks are ruining political discourse, and framing everything as the end of the world isn't helping either.
The inability of the left to interpret the actions of the right as anything but _evil_ only makes people perceive them as more out-of-touch and pretentious. Studies have shown that rightists (for lack of a better term) are more analytical and understand the positions of the opposition better than those on the left.
