About the "don't need taxes" thing: That's a laughable fallacy. In this modern world of interrelated dependencies, the days of "somebody will probably build a road just when its needed, Libertarianism could work. Really! Just let random people run the whole society at random, that'd work great"

We have to grow up, and recognize that as our country grew from 10M to 450M people, certain processes and activities have to be streamlined and organized. You don't run the company by letting folks show up for shifts at random and hope for the best. You don't run a country's infrastructure that way either.
