but the founding premise amongst anarchist/libertarian philosophy that is inherently suspicious of power is definitely ingrained in American culture. there is an undercurrent of anarchism in the Declaration of Independance, and likewise in all Americans, no matter which way they lean politically.

i don't see why anarchism/libertarianism would prevent the proverbial sewers from being built, as both of these philosophies deal more with government than with economics. For instance, it is just as possible to have a social security system under libertarianism as it is under our current situation (which is, just what again?) And as every social-libertarian will tell you, there is a vast difference between a libertarian and a Liberarian (as in the political party.)
