It would seem to me that you don't think it particularly important is an
illustration of the problem.

And long term detriments may not be visible to all the Libertarian Party
members. I did give a specific example (Libertarians allowing business to
discriminate on the basis of race, creed, and sex) that probably cuts to the
core of the question in my previous message. Glossing over this kind of
thing with vague statements may make the white males in the Libertarian
Party more comfortable with themselves, but it dooms them to the fringe.

I certainly agree, but as constructed welfare isn't actually designed to
help people got off it, which is what I don't like about it.
