    You lost me at the very title of the paper. Wealth redistribution is only plausible through taxation. Taxation can only be enforced through force. The use of force goes against the NAP - one of the very core fundamentals of Libertarianism. Governments will never be as effective as a truly free market or charities. That paper tried very hard to make something simple very complicated to justify its point.
