I am NOT one of them b/c I believe in government as the will of the people.

So do the libertarians.

I may have overstated this point to some extent - b/c I recognize that there may exist several flavors of libertarianism...

My main point is that i do NOT view govt as the problem.  However, I do believe that too much money influence in buying politicians is more frequently the problem that makes our government go awry.... ... ultimately, money should NOT be used to purchase politicians or to divert them from representing the will of the people.


I was being a little obtuse but my point was that libertarians do not believe that "the will of the people" is the be-all and end-all of what is right. Central to most right-libertarian philosophy is the non-aggression principle and democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner.
