For truly evil people the question is never really "how much does it cost".
Isn't that most evil?

Libertarians are not "good" people, especially the Ayn Rand kind. We are all assholes.
The operating theory is, "what if we're all assholes?"

Good point! But maybe you're only really evil if you're completely evil, or almost completely. You still believe in an "operating theory", no matter how terrible. You still have hope, I used to be a libertarian when I was young! Still kept a few ideas, matter of fact. But I agree that it's a varied group.

See! Honestly, almost anything after Ayn Rand is an improvement. Sowell was a Marxist!

Should taxes go towards paying for it?

As more red state voters support pro-choice policies when the issue itself is on the ballot, the more I'm convinced it's not as big a wedge issue as the Religious Right and media depict it.
