It's not that strange. Many people do not consider improving the efficiency with which the state can oppress its citizenry a good thing.

And to many libertarians, something as seemingly innocuous as tax collection or child protective services are oppressive.

Hence the hate.

So, you'd rather pay an inefficient government more taxes to oppress you inefficiently.

I look forward to hearing more of these libertarian ideas.
