Libertarianism is just a ploy by self-affecting people to game the government so they can take advantage of as many people and offerings as possible. They view taxes that they can plug into as deserved, and ones they can't plug into as a tax that they are somehow forced to pay.

They would offshore their profits to Luxembourg using E&Y and four other tax firms to dodge US taxes, paying only 0.75 in Lux. Then, they push for tax amnesty programs to repatriate their money at 4-5%. I don't think any of their pipelines were built with US steel.
