Why don't we just let people do what they want in life?

Libretarian's aren't Anarchists.  They believe that it's the governments job to be an impartial referee.

The only positive I can see towards a Libretarians belief system is it basically rebuts the liberal claim that the rich should pay more because the rich benefit more from the government existing.

When the government disapears, the rich take their place.

Hmmm, I wouldn't really say that. When the market if too free and unregulated corporations become too big and gain too much power. They'll start corrupting the Government and avoid what little regulations there are. Isn't that what basically happened in your country that led to the crisis?

And don't the rich really benefit from the existence of a Government, in the sense that they only have wealth in the context of a society? And doesn't the Government protect their wealth? (And don't they essentially control the Government anyway?)
