If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

It does seem to now mean "people that don't want to pay their taxes".

I can't think of anything more spoilt and privileged than taxes being the only thing you have to whine about.

Aha, well, do note that taxes were essentially the cause of the American Revolution.

Libertarians do tend to support the idea of negative liberty which would include ideas like freedom from compulsory taxes (that's not to say that all libertarians are of the same opinion). To say that it is only that, however, is quite reductionist, and rather ignorant.

It means "I am afraid of gay people but like smoking weed."
