Default Re: Question for Libertarians

I agree with Lehigh. Libertarians are not anarchists, and certainly see a role for the government. Pooling our funds to make public roads is, perhaps, one tax I would be in favor of...not to say I have a problem with toll roads(I drive one everyday, and it's much faster, cleaner, and nicer than the public one).

Regarding the problem you present...I doubt that you'd have everyone owning the little section of road in front of their house. Most likely, you'd see a new type of company emerge: road management firms...and my guess would be they'd work like the power company, the water company, and so forth.

I dunno, though...lots of problems to get around with that one. I think the free public roads are actually a decent use for government.

Free public schools, however, are not...but that's another thread.
