I will not be talking about Jimbo's point of view here, but I do know a bit (although only a bit) about libertarianism. And yes, that would include being against using of tax money for, for example, schools. Libertarians are of the opinion that schools and similar should be paid for by the parents, or if they cannot pay it, private charity, rather than the state.

Libertarianism is against government (to different extents; some want to abolish it completely, some want it only to maintain "law and order" etc.). It's a type of free market anarchism. As far as I understand Jimbo's philosophy, he's a libertarian (or Ayn Rand style objectivist), and opposes voting as the basis of political decision making processes.
Are you telling me and the list that Jimbo wants the U.S. to abolish presidential elections ("opposes voting", "is not a democrat") and that he thinks that tax money should not pay for, say, schools?
I want to hear your answer first, and then I'll go ask Jimbo.
If the above is really what you think about Jimbo, then I find it hard to understand that you want to be involved in the Wikipedia at all.
