    Oh that was kind of fun.

    I caught part of some libertarian debate on CSPAN recently.

    They want to not just cut taxes but get rid of all taxes.

    I assume just on the Federal level but I also assume they would back Governor Walker all the way!

    I know this much. The alien did not get here on his own. So he must be employed by some corporate organization.

    And corporations dictate all the rules to their employees without much protection under the Bill of Rights.

    It's humorous, and definitely underscores a lot of confusion that people have about exactly what government does. However, it seems that there is an implied "solution" of eliminating government altogether. What the human doesn't adequately explain is that societies beyond a certain critical mass are incapable of not having a government, even if that government is chaotic. In fact, underneath our "regular" government, you often find secondary "governments" organized by gang leaders, mob bosses, CEOs, etc.
