The video is truely funnny, but is deceptive. It misrepresents American Libertarians. IT depicts us as wanting everything privatized which is simply not true. I for example am Libertarian and want government to operate the facilities that they are Constitutionally authorized to operate i.e. police, the post office, prisons, etc.... I just Don' want them butting in on things that they aren't Constitutionally authorized to. It's why I hate private prisons, (nothing to do with tin foil hat conspiracy nut jobs) some things are designed under law to be governmental functions not privatized. And then they can't keep their dirty little digits out of private matters they have no business in

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

I think we should cut all the social parasites from their welfare checks. Then they will either find a means to support themselves or starve to death, either of wich is good for the economy and society.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

That is what the moonbats do.  Lie and lie and lie until their lie becomes the background radiation.

Video if very obviously biased. In reality IF things ran the way they did in that video THEN that guys taxi service would have ultimately failed in a few days/weeks unless he did lower prices to compete.

Why do you guys think that video is biased? It's from a pro-libertarian site :/ That's what ancapistan would look like in its nascent stage.

The driver literally says that he will soon be priced out if he charges more than the market can bear.

I guess what made me feel that it was biased is that I normally don't associate Libertarianism with anarcho-capitalism. So many isms....

That cop bit at the end in particular seemed to paint it in a negative light. That would fit the context of anarcho-capitalism I guess.
