Hello Chris, thank you for your comment.
Not my name. If you are Greek as you claim to be my name shouldn't be too difficult.
I would to some extend agree that there are some generalization in the article, since it only is an article and not a book generalizations would be necessary if the article shouldn't end with more than 50 pages. It is a wrong to conclude that the view on the libertarians in this article is that they are in favor of the state of nature. I argued that they believe that there only should be paid enough taxes in order to avoid the state of nature.
Instead of being lazy and getting all your talking points from liberal talk show hosts, you could have gone to google and done some research on the liberty movement. You don't need to write a thesis style paper to accurately present every school of thought within the liberty movement. You could write a short summary of each, their principles and goals, within 2 pages. Also the small government/low taxes shtick is not libertarianism. That's a ruse created by Republicans to con people out of even more of their money (look up Piyush 'Bobby' Jindal).
I do though not believe that my view is dishonest as you mention. As an example Nozick is in favor of a minimal state, where the taxes should be limited to the very least. Nozick as one of the leading philosophers of the libertarian school, believed that taxation is interfering with the personal freedom.
I've never read Nozick. His philosophy isn't synonymous with libertarianism. This is just as dumb as people who claim that all libertarians are inspired by Ayn Rand, another person I've never read. Neither of these people are the authorities on libertarianism. The only thing that you have revealed within your article and response is that despite pretensions to the contrary, you don't actually know what libertarianism is. It's not a single philosophy or set of beliefs or the 'non-aggression principle' as ancaps like to claim. It is basically the atheism of politics. Libertarians are only united in what they are against or what they don't believe is just. Criticisms of the government, police, the tax code, fiat currency etc. are common to all libertarians, but no two libertarians agree on a solution, what they think should replace our current institutions.
I don't believe that many libertarian are in favor of taxation. On an everyday basis a high taxation do in their point of view remove the motivation of working. The idea for them is exactly that the people are responsible for their own acts and they should have the chance to invest the money they earned as they desire.
On average libertarians are Not in favor of the current tax code. On average, libertarians are against the current convoluted tax code, and it's not because it's soaking the rich. The rich can afford to comply with the tax code; it actually hurts the middle class and poor the most since they have less money to hire a tax professional. The IRS also audits poor and middle class people more often because they are easier targets. Taxes on the state and local level are regressive. The rich also disproportionately benefit from deficit spending and the federal reserves's monetary policy. Yes, libertarians are individualists who believe people are responsible for their own actions; this doesn't imply that we don't believe in any group collaboration.
