You have a different view of freedom. I view freedom as the liberty to, not the liberty from.

For example, I can be free to see a doctor, but I cannot be free from having to worry about healthcare expenses.

Sometimes they overlap, but this is an irrelevant point.

Libertarianism is simply the most practical of political theories.
