I believe in taxation and health care that is outside the usual libertarian mandate, because I don't want people to have to suffer. It's as simple as that.
Pure libertarianism believes that people will be generous and help each other. Well, they won't. I wish it were so, and I live that way.
I have come to believe that anger and grudges are burning embers in the heart...
Now I call myself a bleeding heart libertarian. Because I do believe in the principles of Libertarianism as an ideal - because I'm an idealist.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music.
While I believe in all that freedom, I also believe that no one should suffer needlessly.
I still totally believe in individual rights and individual responsibility and in choosing to do good.
