According to this study, you agree with "libertarian philosophy" if you agree with the following statement

> I would like to live in a society where government does nothing except provide national defense and police protection, so that people could be left alone to earn whatever they could.

What a joke. Of course, it turns out that technology entrepreneurs are not really libertarians when you ask it like that. What if they asked individuals whether they agree or disagree with the following statement:

> I believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world.

Would they get a different response?
