Who cares what the libertarians say. We are more interested in what they do. The Cato Institute is a think-tank that provides ammunition for right-wing politicians who are trying to turn back the clock to the Victorian era. That they have largely succeeded is a function of the ability of Cato, Heritage Foundation, and other inside-the-beltway outfits to push the political agenda to the right. When votes are cast in favor of ending welfare because of the steady drum-beat emanating from such outfits, people die. The money from right-wing corporations like Koch oil, Coors beer and Olin-Mathensin arms keeps these think-tanks in fighting trim. Our fight is not with libertarian philosophy, it is with a section of the ruling-class that wants to grind the workers into the dust.
