Yeah, so was I. But my excuse is that back then I was young and stupid.

Bull.

To only _slightly_ turn Churchill's words, "When a man is young, if he is
not a Democrat, he has no heart. When a man is old, if he is not a
Republican, he has no brain."

I heard this too. My own personal development went in the opposite
direction. I started out as a libertarian and was obsessed with a
career and making money. After a while, the older I get, the more
liberal I become.

My first motivation is my disgust at the devolution of the Republican
party. Possibly, the Republican party has always been as bad as it is
now, but I just was not aware. I would have to dig into history, for
which I do not have time right now.

Secondly, though most rich people and wannabe rich people I know are
libertarian, I believe that they have not considered things properly.

The first thing a rich person needs is not even a low tax rate
(because it makes little difference as far as their well being is
concerned), but a stable society. And I do not believe that a stable
society can be promoted by deficits, endless wars, plunder of the
budget etc.

The only problem you have..is that you live in Illinois..and its far
leftwing foulness has infected your brain.

Id STRONGLY suggest you move to another state, where over time..the
infection will go away.
