They don't follow through at all. Which is why government spending and bureaucracy are completely out of control which is just the opposite of what a libertarian would do. I can read properly you just can't figure out what a libertarian is or what the Non-Aggression principle implies.

As long as it doesn't break my leg or pick my pockets, I really don't care what people do. I don't even worry if someone has more than I do or less. I am too busy running my life to worry about it. What the government does is pick my pocket and give it to people who didn't work for it and don't deserve the fruits of my labor. The legions of bureaucrats and financial institutions that keep getting tax dollars through bailouts come to mind.
