Very odd position...sort of a regressive populist flat tax mentality? Sounds very Ron Paul-ish. In other words, in makes the least sense possible on every count.

Okay I know libertarianism runs counter to most people on this forums world view(particularly since almost all libertarians do not believe in urban planning), but they tend to favor variable rate congestion tolling. Some of them would even like to see variable tolling replace other taxes/fees so that people will begin to see the true cost of driving at the point of that decision being made. They also tend to agree that the elimination of parking minimums should lead to people making much more rational decisions on driving in urban areas. In those fights you would actually find libertarians and a lot of fiscal conservatives as allies.
