It’s not hard to make a case against the government, and that it’s involved with all sorts of thing in which it shouldn’t be involved. Yet, there’s no groundswell for libertarianism in the U.S. From Ryan Turnipseed at lewrockwell.com:
Recently, for the Blaze, Tucker Carlson has been interviewing prospective GOP nominees for president, and he has been asking them questions that they are not used to in the slightest. The most infamous of these questions so far was directed to Mike Pence, the former Vice President, on the topic of foreign aid and intervention.
When the clip starts, Pence is attempting to critique the current regime that we’re under for not being efficient enough in its hawkish policy, supposedly being too slow to send support to Ukraine and underdelivering on promises of intervention. Tucker then interrupts Pence, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Vice President… you are distressed that the Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks? Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years. Drive around. There’s not one city that’s gotten better in the United States, and it’s visible. Our economy has degraded. The suicide rate has jumped. Filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased, and yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can’t find on a map, who’ve received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don’t have enough tanks? I think it’s a fair question to ask, like, where’s the concern for the United States in that?”

Thirty pence?
That’s not my concern.
If government is a “necessary evil” then what is the alternative?
