First of all its a poll by Bloomberg so doubtful about its authenticity. I'm not a tea partier but I am a Libertarian, who hold alot of the same beliefs. Yes Medicare, medicaid, social security are socialist programs, no doubt about that and as a libertarian I'm against them because the federal government does not have legal authority to have these programs along with organizations like the FCC,ATF,TSA,DEA and lots of others. Libertarians believe in the constitution and bill of rights as they were first signed, we believe they are all equally important. Every time a bill is passed by congress that violates the constitution you just lost a little of your civil rights and I don't want to see that happen.
