Roy, what you are describing is an anarchist.

A libertarian knows very well that some taxes are necessary as is some 
government.  Hmm .. OK schools systems are pretty much entirely useless.  But 
as to 
the other things:

A liberal believes in govenment solutions to everythign uless there is 
compelling evidence that it just won't work, then a private solution can be 
entertained.  

A conservative talks a good game about less government and free enterprise, 
but what they mean is government regulations to give them an advantage.  A 
conservative believes that corporations are the solution to everything unless 
there is compelling evidence  that it just doesn't work, then a private 
solution 
can be entertained, an barring that, a government solution can be entertained.

The libertarian believes in private solutions to everything unless there is 
compelling evidence that it just won't work, then a goverment solution can be 
entertained.

Libertian = as little government as is humanly possible.
Anarchist = no government at all.   </HTML>
