I understand where you're coming from, wanting them to struggle and suffer under the system they want. The problem is, I've never met a poor libertarian so they wouldn't be the ones hurt by such a system. They are almost always born into (at least modest) wealth or privilege or if they have benefited from help from others or govt incentives/programs, want to pull the ladder up behind them to reduce the cost on them regardless of the impact on the rest of society.

I couldn't support a system that punishes them because that's pretty crappy but also, that same system would punish many others too.
