Personal responsibility and charity are tenants of Libertarianism.

Libertarianism and objectivism are different shades of the same color. This is a worldview that is obsessed with rational 'self-interest'. Charity is NOT a tenant of libertarianism, it is a footnote that they only allow because it's not managed by the government. Say what you will about libertarianism, it's the bastard hellspawn son of Ayn Rand-- who spent her entire life harping on handouts only to get lung cancer and cash checks from the government to pay for her treatments.

not just making the incredibly efficient government responsible for it.

If the government is so terrible then why not work on making it more efficient instead of just scrapping the whole thing?
We have the government because we need to do things the free market can't do effectively on its own. No matter what, the free market can never be proactive, only reactive. It doesn't act with vision or calculation, it's little more than an anarchic force of nature.
Removing direction from society and leaving it at the whim of human emotions and natural forces just doesn't work, anyone who thinks so just wants to live out some redneck survival fantasy, or thinks the government is why they are a retail manager instead of a CEO. Libertarians are invariably poorly educated atheist adolescents who would be republican except fuck christianity and intellectual non-conformity is just so kvlt.

doesn’t mean we should have the government run our lives for us.

This little piece of garbage rhetoric right here makes me so buttfrustrated I literally just developed a hemorrhoid, like I heard an audible "Pop" from my ass as it sprang forth. Not even going to bother.
