I was a libertarian even when I was sleeping on a floor mattress, going hungry and responding to craigslist ads for jobs that required sludging thru sewers. You might disagree, and that's fine, but "only financially privileged ppl are libertarian" has never ever felt true to me.

Also wanna clarify - ppl characterize libertarianism as "only look out for yourself". This isn't quite right - it would be "nobody can force you to look out for others". Myself and other libertarians I know do really enjoy helping other people out of our own free will!

I used to call myself a libertarian (when I was broke) and it was primarily motivated by opposing the War on Drugs, and Ron Paul was the only person in DC fighting to end it. I think a lot of non-rich people have a similar on-ramp. They see govt abuse and think we need less govt.

If there was a correlation between libertarianism and wealth, how do they explain all of the champagne socialists that are basically everywhere these days?
