A Failure of Understanding
Quite a while ago a socialist news site did an article entitled Top 10 Jobs in Libertarian Paradise. It was the usual socialist stream of bullshit that proclaimed doom and gloom should big government ever go away. I mostly ignored it as it was over-the-top stupid but then I saw the very well done counter-article on The UK Libertarian (I'm pleasantly surprised they still have libertarians in the UK).
The main problem with people who've grown up with large government is they are completely unable to imagine a world that works without said government. Anybody with some knowledge of history knows that countries can survive and prosper without a large government. If you're in the first group I highly advise you to read the linked UK Libertarian article and learn how those of us on the other side of politics think.
