We lobbied to redirect funds which were previously used to provide free
training to H-1B immigrants (generally to train them to compete with
people like me). I figure since I paid for it already in my taxes, I
earned it. Libertarianism doesn't say you shouldn't demand services you
paid your insurance premium (taxes) for already, even if the provider is
a monopoly, as is the case with state government. In fact, it encourages
it.
