Deal-Breakers

LP members tend to believe certain things which to the voters are deal-breakers:
1. No individual can be forced to pay a tax.
2. No individual can be forced to obey a law that he believes "initiates force" against him
3. The U.S. Supreme Court is not the final arbiter of whether a law is constitutional; rather, the individual, acting alone, determines this.
4. The debts run up by the U.S. government should be repudiated; people cannot be taxed to pay off the national debt.
5. The government represents no one; hence, no individual is responsible for the damages inflicted on others by the government.
These beliefs constitute anarchism, and since the average voter disapproves of this, the LP never gained any popularity, even among people favoring smaller government.

A Proposition

If you were living in North Korea, and the slavemaster government gave you the opportunity to move to a libertarian Utopia, would you choose to move to the libertarian Utopia, even if a government required you to live for the first 5 years in France? If you choose yes, then you are an unprincipled, sell-out gradualist.
