Jerry Taylor gives his prescription for moving toward a more libertarian future.

My take:
While it would be nice if we could have more liberty by promising a “robust” safety net, those who seem to be more interested in equality than adequacy will probably not be willing to make a bargain with the pro-liberty crowd.
It reminds me of Reagan agreeing to raise taxes and expecting Congress to cut spending.
As Taylor says, we haven’t gotten far with the strategy we have been selling, so what is there to lose by following Taylor’s suggestions.
So for now, I will only encourage increasing/maintaining non-economic civil liberties, and reducing foreign intervention (adventurism), and moving the military, CIA, and State Department savings into making a more robust safety net.
