Why Libertarian?

What brings people to Libertarianism? For me it’s the chance to reform a governing body that fulfills it’s core responsibilities and nothing else. It’s a philosophy that replaces legalized theft with individual responsibility. Libertarianism encompasses the “morally superior” view, that we must not use government to FORCE our values, products, or services on each other but rather learn from our common human experiences on a free and level playing field making decisions we as individuals see fit.
People are made with a great capacity to learn and achieve. Today our perverse system of government is hell bent on snuffing out this great ability we possess through a dumbed down regulatory process that obliterates the ambitious through plunder and caters to the lowest common denominator for a simple vote. Libertarians recognize this as the unsustainable demise of our nation if left unchecked.
At this point in time, we have seen all the Republican and Democrat parties have to offer and it ain’t all that! One is a bastion of social intolerance coupled with fiscal waffling the other is a breeding grounds for failed Soviet style Socialism riddled with fiscal suicide.
So, why Libertarian? How about why Not Libertarian!
