@goldeneye007662 I wonder about that too. I suppose it's because Ayn Rand became famous in popular culture -- I'd like to know how many Ayn Rand fans have ever read the works of John Stuart Mill.
@spmcfar87 When did I say you have to live my way? You're the one saying we need to help people help themselves. I'm saying as a libertarian, you can't force anyone to do anything they don't want to do, even if you think it's for their own good.
@spmcfar87 That statement contradicts the fundamental principle of classic liberalism (the foundation of libertarianism). You can't force people to do something, even if it's making them help themselves.
I used to be a "foolish liberal" before I decided to major in economics. I'm hesitant to call myself a conservative or even libertarian because at heart I still want to help poor people. Just that now I know gov don't know how to help the poor and that more freedom usually brings the best outcome.

@spmcfar87 If that's what you believe, then you're not a libertarian.
