I take a progressive stance... I wouldn't see federal involvement as big of an issue if we had smarter taxation, like a flat tax on what Americans spend.

A flat tax is better known as a poor tax. It disproportionately affects those with less money, whose earnings go toward necessities in a larger share than those in higher income brackets. If I'm making $100k/year and I pay 10% of that, I'm left with $90,000. If I'm making $15,000 and I pay 10% of that, I'm left with $13,500, which makes my life a lot more difficult. There is nothing progressive about a flat tax.

I have yet to see how "libertarianism" is a viable alternative to a strong Federal government. What I usually hear is "HURRDURR GOVERNMENT BAD PRIVATIZE GOOD!"
