You may want to shy away from using the word "common logic". You may as well say, "..you totally disregard my personal views".

Let's stick with 'common logic', it is more fitting. What you present is a perfect world ideology, where people are responsible for their actions, and there does not exist democRATS who would ABSOLUTELY expand the government. If you tax and license prostitution and drugs, you expand government...common logic. If you allow drugs and prostitution, then democRATS will gladly misuse the taxes, subsidize drug dealers, fund their campaigns with drug money, develop welfare programs because of dependency, free drugs for the addict and have the defense attorneys sue because of dependency...common logic.

Not to mention idiots like Harry Browne and the tendency towards siding with liberals that a lot of libertarians often do.

"Not to mention idiots like Harry Browne and the tendency towards siding with liberals that a lot of libertarians often do."

The tendency is conditional on the issue. Libertarians mostly side with the republicans when they have to make a choice between the two.

CONGRATUATIONS!!! You are poster #43659 to state, "I disagree with libertarian thought because I do not desire to fight socialism". Thanks for playing!

Well, they're doing it big time, right now with the money they're getting from the income tax. What say we just screw with them big time, and do away with capitalism, eh?

If you tax and license prostitution and drugs, you expand government...common logic.-- This type of common logic would be supported by Conservatives, in an effort to push it out of society, just like taxing cigarettes.

Hint- If there is a "sin tax" in libertarian government, it would be a representative tax. Meaning that the use tax would pay for the so called free rides, or damage such "sins" can cause society. A tax on prostitution would not fund your schools.

If you allow drugs and prostitution, then democRATS will gladly misuse the taxes, subsidize drug dealers, fund their campaigns with drug money, develop welfare programs because of dependency, free drugs for the addict and have the defense attorneys sue because of dependency...common logic.--- All of these are forms of coersion, force, and corporate welfare. Some of them are strongly promoted by conservatives, like tax misuse and subsidies.

Hint- Such government force is not Libertarian. Any "sin taxes" would be used to directly prosecute and repair any real crimes that may occur to private citizens. Government should not promote any lifestyle and at the same time give us all protection against initiatory force of the lifestyles of others.

Not to mention idiots like Harry Browne and the tendency towards siding with liberals that a lot of libertarians often do.

Hint- Harry Browne is often wrong and is not always representative of ...common logic.
