There are libertarians and the libertarian party. Normally the difference is noted by capitalization, but he started the sentance with the word. He is not referencing the party.

You need a small number of wealthy people, a lot of consumers with money to buy products, and around 6% unemployed people who want jobs. Capitalism requires this to operate.
Well, you certainly need enough consumers to buy the products that are produced.

If capitalism isn’t helped along in making sure that consumer are plentiful and have money to buy products, it collapses. 2/3 of US economy is consumers spending. Humans can be greedy bastards. Left unchecked, greed affects the consumers ability to consume.
No, it doesn't need to be helped. If left alone, the free market will correct itself.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Well, your answer dripped with partisan myopia. (You do realize there is a difference between a political philosophy and a political party, yes?)

I am a libertarian but not a member of the Libertarian party.
They are two different things. They are two completely different things.
His link has nothing to do with the LP.

Yes I do, typically those who follow a political philosophy fervently enough to operate a site dedicated to one I would consider partisan.
