I think this shows a misunderstanding of the Libertarian philosphy. A
Libertarian opposes the theft of property from one person for the benift
of another. It doesn't matter if is for the benifit of the bean picker in
So. Cal. or for the owner of the bean farm. It is the *theft* at the point
of a gun that is objected to.
