54. Anarchy?
anarchy in politics and anarchy in economics...is how I see it.

Libertarians are just anarchists too dense to recognize it.

They are also the only party whose candidates actually "do not have a plan" outside of "no taxes" and "no regulation". If they were more mainstream they would be the muse of some exceptional satire. Most I know are mildly successful small-business folks who do not know the meaning of corporate governance because they still think it is an "invisible hand" and only encounter that hand when it is too late (when they are about to close up shop because Wal-mart, Starbucks, and Applebees have just moved in down the street). Even then they probably just hold on for dear life and become a franchise owner whose complaints about franchise fees now fall on deaf ears. Not recognizing that the local distributorships they once bought from have been bought up by those they know buy from through the franchise.

Libertarians, a threat, but comical and a bit tragic to boot.
