Its funny how similar a lot of the idealologies are between liberals and libertarians. The differences really lie in how government plays a role in society. With liberalism you could say that the belief is that everyone ought to recieve an equal chance in life from birth and that education and health care and other forms of assistance, I.E. welfare are designed to further that goal. With libertarianism the belief is that everyone ought to be able to earn an equal chance in life so long as they try hard enough they ought to be given every chance to prosper. The means might be different but in a lot of ways the end goal is about the same.
It is a shame that in these debates a strong liberal is classed as someone who would want people to become dependant on government handouts and a libertarian is someone who is classed as a person who doesn't care about the suffering of the people or whom wants to foster a plutocracy, a ruling class of the wealthy.
Tease.
