Hi folks!

 

This new blog is by just what the title indicates--an unlikely libertarian.  And why is it unlikely that I be a libertarian?  I would say first and foremost is my low income.  It is less than $30,000 per year.  Just about everyone I know whose income is in that general vicinity expect to be taken care of by the government, and we are talking about cradle to grave.  They are all too ready to go running to the government for housing if they get an eviction notice, energy if they get a shut off notice and road resurfacing if there are too many bumps and potholes on their street.  They expect government runned health care if they need bandages after carelessly cutting their fingers.  And if gas prices get way too high for them, they demand the government "do something!"

 

I want as little to do with government as possible. For decades I have used government as the last resort rather than the first resort and did just fine without it. 

 

Did I always believe as I do now?
