[ExI] rugged individualists

[Kelly Anderson]

I and my family have received government aid. I knew it was government
aid. Every year since 1999 when I paid $502,000 in federal income tax,
I have been trying my best to get it all back. But I don't like what
it has done to me. It has made me much less of a rugged individualist
than I ever wanted to be. It is a disease, and I want to fight back
and kick the public heroin. I just haven't quite figured out how to do
it yet.

It is out of this experience and the experiences of "we're the
government and we're here to help" that I have become a libertarian.
Not because I am a rugged individualist. Perhaps that makes me a big
fat hypocrite. Most likely, it does. But I'm just trying to live the
best life I can under what I perceive to be a crappy system.
