See...this is why i cant be a 'real' Libertarian...
some services exist for the public good. They are needed. If they didnt exist simply because people didnt want to pay them the public would suffer. Roads, schools, police, fire...all valid public expenditures. All should be paid for from taxes.
Those services should however be EFFECTIVE. They should provide effective services and the local and state governments should fund them and manage them. Citizens of the state should be responsible for their annual budgets and the citizens should hold their politicians and accountants fiscally responsible.
