10. When looking at their policies and the effects they would have, it's hard not to
Sure, it's one thing to say that you want to reign in government spending. But when you're talking about slashing social services that millions of Americans rely on, when you're talking about gutting education (remember, many Libertarians favor eliminating the Dept. of Education), without regard for the consequences of those actions, that seems rather heartless. They're more concerned with dollar signs than they are human lives. And just about every libertarian/teabagger I've run across really couldn't care less if someone was hurt by their policies. Their view is that if they can't help themselves, then fuck them.
