No, they aren't, but I was pointing out the main ones. The monopoly on force is another example.

Not to mention this particular executive cut taxes on a regular basis. So how is he using taxes to control us?

The government is over-taxing us. Just because someone lessens the amount of taxing, it still doesn't mean that we aren't being over-taxed. It just means we are being less taxed than before.
BTW, we also have the lazy congress, which is also hated by a lot of people.

Actually, I think we're dangerously close to a Christian theocracy as it is. Although I don't 100% agree with the libertarian stance, they're certainly a lot better than what we currently have.

Well, either way, we're screwed.
A lot of people say the same thing. I have a friend who likes the objectivist form of government and while most objectivists hate libertarians, they agree it is better than the current situation.
