People want to blame libertarians for not having empathy, so let's try to empathize with someone like Lynsi Snyder. Imagine your grandfather built a small ranch, and through the years, your family made it bigger, and more successful. As a result, you went from a few head of cattle, to 10,000 heads. Well, then the government comes along, and says that because your family did such a goof job, they want to force you to sell some of your land, and cattle?
So, let's see who isn't capable of empathy.
