Libertarian Ideals are great. Freedom of speech, and press. Along with a million other little freedoms many never know they have. I believe in help my less fortunate bothers as well and these things are not incompatible. Simply present me with a choice if I want the services the government provides I will pay for them, and If I do not then I should not have too. Though there is a bare minimum of cost that comes with being a citizen of any country (such as military up keep and election costs) which we have to pay to be citizens. It is all about finding the balance of liberty and security.
