Libertarians are people without kids?

My wife used to be libertarian, and I am newly libertarian.  I bring up the topic from time to time and she simply says:

--- Quote ---libertarianism is a philosophy for people without kids
--- End quote ---

So, the question is, do you have kids?  Is she right?

mikehz:
I've known plenty of libertarians with kids. I have two of them. However, my oldest daughter, a libertarian, does not plan to have children.

I've got a 3-year old daughter and a newborn son.  I don't know the context of the quote, but it certainly doesn't resonate with me.  In fact, I see libertarian ideals as the only hope for my kids.  I shudder to think of the crushing tax burdens and loss of liberty that they will face as adults if we continue down the path towards socialism in this country.

With all due respect to your wife but that is just downright wrong. Most libertarians I've met have children and one of the big things they care about is what this country is going to be like when we have either a totally fascist state or a totally communist state or a combination of both in the near future while they (they're children) are grown. Another big one is having a free market of choices to educate their children with. Instead of the socialist indoctrination acadamies passing for "public" schools now.

Libertarians with kids is just as likly as Blacks with the McRib.  :lol:
