Ah yes, of course, you get to become the arbiter of what level of taxation is appropriate under libertariansim. A huge faction would argue total privatization of schools, roads, police and anything else. You sure like to brag about being such a well traveled Dos Equis drinking man of the world but your bullshit stinks just the same no matter if it's in a privatized toilet or a communal privy ditch.
