Please refer to the Jefferson quote provided in my previous post.
The problem with this line of reasoning is that it creates victim constituencies which are the foundation of liberalism in our era. The Liberal Federalist state is always built to provide services to the sick, lame, underprivilaged, underserved, and succeeds in building a larger and less efficient system of delivery with each succeeding generation. FSP's aim is to restore the right of each state to deliver services to it's citizens as it sees fit, in other words deliver services at the lowest level of government. This was the way the founding documents specify that the system works - See Article I Sec 8 & Ammendment 10. In this way a Libertarian state may decide to offer very little in the way of government services and a Democrat State may decide to provide wall to wall coverage of all lifes maladies. Then the residents may vote with their feet. The problem of course, is that the producers will move to the Libertararian State and the non-producers will move to the Democrat State.... Because Socalism is not a sustainable economic system unless the non-producers use the power of government to wring funding from the producers.
