That sounds like a direct challenge to my integrity. I certainly hope you are not suggesting I'm lying here.
Challenge to your integrity? Not at all. But you're going to have to prove to me that you don't fit into that bucket, if you want me to believe that claim. On the other hand, you may not care what I believe - that's also fine. :D

I've just found that every libertarian I've met made the same claim that you make; they honestly believed that about themselves. No lying involved. But in the end it all boiled down to a rationalization of basic greed and almost evangelical faith in capitalism, in spite of obvious flaws.

If your view of libertarianism is that its philosophy includes the notion "I got mine fuck everyone else", then you do not have an accurate perception of what libertarianism is about.
I have an accurate perception.
