I would think a lot of libertarians and Austrians feel as though they are already taxed, which is meant to provide the “social safety net”. I think we can agree based on the story that sparked this conversation, that safety net often fails. But we cannot opt out of paying those taxes which go to failed/failing welfare efforts. If you return economic freedom, I think the majority of all people regardless of political or economic beliefs want to help their fellow human.
