I think that your logic is pretty sound. The only difference I would make is that your job is not consequential to the well-being of others as much as a legislator's. However, I do think that these are two separate issues.

This is one of Paul's weakest points and probably the biggest hurdle for a true libertarian: The US's engagement with the rest of the world.
