106. Lots of Libertarians seek Government employment. Witness Ron and Rand Paul...

They like to pretend they're patriots doing "noble work" because they're making so much less than they would if their genius was recognized in the private sector, while all the other government employees are lazy-asses sucking off the taxpayer tit.

Most of them either didn't have the network, the background or the localized opportunities to get any better jobs than a government job. They don't want to admit they're like the other poor slobs out there looking to the government as the employer of last resort in an ever-shrinking job market. And those in the elected political sphere are the worst - most of Libertarians who get elected are either failed businesspeople or a privileged "fortunate son" who's family "worth" won't allow him or her to sit on their assess and live off mom, dad, and the trust fund. Well, sometimes, the "fortunate son" will want to get into politics to get rid of assistance for all those obviously lazy moochers who can't depend on Mummy and Dads to pay for the tutors and the internships that get them into the Ivy League and from there into a comfortable six-figure job with a family friend.

Do you really think if Ron Paul was as successful a private OBGYN as he claims to be, or if li'l Rand were a successful Ophthalmologist, either of them would go into politics? Especially since the expectations of proficiency most private doctors are facing from their patients and from the states are much higher now-a-days than they were back when I was growing up.
