"Small 'l' not big 'L' libertarians."

Please enlighten me as to the meaning of this.......

I am not questioning or demonizing this effort, I am just curious if there is enough employment to go around.

Keep in mind that I agree with everything I have read about the philosophy.....

A lot of us, probably a majority, are not Libertarian Party members, but agree with at least some general libertarian principles or platforms. I consider myself neither a libertarian nor a Libertarian [nor, particularly, a librarian nor a libertine!] but I figure they'll make better neighbors than a lot I could choose or a lot I've known.

Free people tend to create businesses and their own jobs. If the State cut the taxes and regulations significantly, businesses and job seekers would flock there over time.

BTW, small "L" libertarian means the philosophy , large "L" Libertarians are members of a certain political party of that name.

Well, for one thing, there are going to be 20,000- probably MANY more- new customers. And they're not all arriving at once; some are already there, some have pledged to move within 30 days [as I would have had the choice been Wyoming, Montana or South Dakota; I have land in that area and immediate contacts for housing and job prospects in the nearby states] and others will arrive in dribs and drabs, hopefully mostly before the 2008 election- though they can arrive the day of the election and vote, under current state law, at least.

Some will bring innovative jobs possibilities not yet considered in the Granite State; some are involved in possible joint efforts with businessmen already there; some essentially *work* from the internet or other means of telecommunication and can do so from most anywhere, and others are employed in the skills and trades useful and needed anywhere: mechanics, doctors, nurses, veterinarians, firemen, barbers, florists, and yes, there are libertarian government employees who from what I've seen really try to stress the service part of their public service. I bet they find places to ply their trades; there's already talk of a municipality of *porcupineville*. Now we know exactly what the state laws and other requirements for setting up such a small town will be; it may happen and it may not.

But it oughta be interesting.
