I would, occasionally, run into a self-professed "Libertarian" - but they'd spout all the same talking points, including the coded language about "getting people off welfare."

Of course, if you pointed out that corporate welfare was bigger by far (and, as studies have shown, results in much less added economic output than social welfare), they'd just shake their heads and say "nah-ah."

Like 8 year-olds.
