I don’t understand the moral underpinning of Libertarians’ harboring and celebrated a Fundamental Hatred of Taxes.
How’s that work?
Any one care to help me understand what’s happening there?
I’m guessing there’s not a whole lot of Libertarians here to opine in . . .

Libertarianism (Latin: liber, "free") is a collection of political philosophies and movements that uphold liberty as a core principle.[1] Libertarians seek to maximize political freedom and autonomy, emphasizing freedom of choice, voluntary association, individual judgment, and self-ownership.[2][3][4][5][6] Libertarians share a skepticism of authority and state power. However, they diverge on the scope of their opposition to existing political and economic systems. Various schools of libertarian thought offer a range of views regarding the legitimate functions of state and private power, often calling to restrict or to dissolve coercive social institutions. Some libertarians advocate laissez-faire capitalism and strong private property rights,[7] such as in land, infrastructure, and natural resources. Others, notably libertarian socialists,[8] seek to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production in favor of their common or cooperative ownership and management, viewing private property as a barrier to freedom and liberty.[9][10][11][12] An additional line of division is between minarchists (libertarians) and anarchists. While minarchists think that a minimal centralized government is necessary, anarchists and anarcho-capitalists propose to completely eliminate the state.
Libertarianism is basically anarchy. Libertarians think they should be able to rape the earth at will and that no one should be able to stop them or force them to share their ill-gotten gains. If individuals fail to survive it’s the result of their own failings. Government is the enemy of individual rights. No libertarian society has ever survived.
