Tax exempt lol. Don't drive on tax fund built roads then.
That's one thing that the "taxes are theft" folks don't get.
Don't send your kids to school
Don't drive on roads
Don't receive mail
A thousand other things.
My two favourite articles on libertarian experiments gone horribly wrong:
The Rise and Fall of the “Freest Little City in Texas”: How a Libertarian Experiment in City Government Fell Apart Over Taxes, Debt, and Some Very Angry People
and
The Town That Went Feral: based upon A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz

Both articles are well worth the read.
The great thing about that is from those quotes all I really know is that I can't even imagine the type of crazy things went. Going to have to read those, thank you!
After reading those and other articles, it’s difficult for me to maintain a straight face when people IRL tell me they’re libertarians. The more I’ve looked into it, the more I can’t help but snicker at its mention.
I’ve put Libertarianism on my mental shelf along with Scientology and Moonies. It’s just batshit insane and naive as fuck.
What are Moonies? Moon landing conspiracy guys?
