You might be a Republican if you believe that this same school is qualified to teach them about God.

But you’ll become a Libertarian when you realize that only government monopoly schools have trouble teaching kids to read.

You might be a Democrat if you think tobacco smoke is more dangerous than AIDS.

You might be a Republican if you think marijuana smoke is more dangerous than tobacco.

But you’ll become a Libertarian when you realize that government agents are more dangerous than all of these put together.

You might be a Democrat if you believe guns cause crime but criminals don’t.

You might be a Republican if you believe new gun laws are bad but bad gun laws should be enforced.

You might be a Democrat if you believe government welfare helps the poor.

You might be a Republican if you believe corporate subsidies bring economic prosperity.

But you’ll become a Libertarian when you notice all the political interests lining up for tax-funded hand-outs up on Capitol Hill.
