How do you intend to force economic equality? And make no doubts, it would involve force. Who are you willing to imprison? The rich or the poor?

This is a libertarian leaning forum. What you see in the streets may make you uncomfortable, but letting people sleep in the streets and do drugs is a maximized result of that kind of ideology.

Libertarianism puts huge emphasis on voluntarily charity and cooperation, as opposed to theft excused by good intentions. So, if you're a libertarian, I would expect (but not force) you to do more charity work and donations. This is true for myself and most other libertarians I know.
Libertarian forum is a funny word considering many of these companies keep government subsidies which have been cleverly renamed to things like clean energy investments.
