| HappySqurriel said: I have noticed quite often that the most informed people in most political discussions tend to be libertarians, and I have wondered whether libertarians tend to put in the effort to inform themselves or if being informed is more likely to make someone a libertarian. Unfortunately, the uninformed masses out number those that bother to inform themselves; and most elections (regardless of whether it is a primary or a general election) tend to become popularity contests. |
I think that in a lot of cases it's first hand experience with the government that makes you a Libertarian.
One of the things I've noticed is that many Libertarians I know have usually worked for or with the government at some point, and people I know who have worked with the government are nearly always libertarians.
