Libertarian Voters Flock To Trump After Learning He Avoided Paying Taxes
The Babylon Bee ^ | September 28, 2020 | The Babylon Bee

U.S.—Trump is polling high among an unexpected group: libertarians, who were energized and drawn to Trump's cause after the New York Times revealed that he paid as little as $750 in federal taxes some years.

"Only paying a few hundred in federal theft? This guy is my hero!" said libertarian man Murray Mickelson of New Hampshire. "If only all of us could be that smart with our taxes."

"The less theft, the better!"

The BEE. Calm down. LOL! Me, I may send extra money to the IRS to make up for evil OMB not paying his “fair share”. Or not.

Wait, why are libertarians an unexpected Trump vote?

I understand that this is the bee, and satire, but in all seriousness, who are libertarians supposed to vote for? The socialists????

/libertarian rant

Guess the Babylon Bee the part where Trump paid 32 million and them 22 million in taxes and many millions over the years.
The Bee just another propaganda outlet.

Libertarian ‘politicians’ perhaps. I’m speaking about average libertarians on the street, such as myself. I’ve been telling people for nearly two decades that I support republicans because democrats are closet socialists and the socialists scare me more than the neocons. People didn’t used to believe me that they were socialists. Now it’d actually rather funny, if it wasn’t so serious.

Amazing how the Babylon Bee knows more than the IRS.

If you’re an “average libertarian” then why do you not support the average libertarian politician?

And you’ve been telling people you support republicans? Really?

Not me. I support conservatives.

Very few, if any libertarians are true conservatives.

Some, but not most republicans are true conservatives.

I get what you’re trying to say here. At least I think I do. You just have a bad way of expressing yourself.

What’s hard to understand about “Socialists are a bigger threat than neocons”?

Not a damn thing. Unless you think conservatives are neocons.

If you do, then you are on the wrong forum.

Oh no, I feel quite at home here, most of the time. While FR is not homogeneous nor in lockstep by any stretch, for the most part they are not neocons, although I will say that many of us (myself included) got caught up in the fervor of an ever increasing WOT and their justifications, when the focus always should have been OBL, but after 911 our emotions were easier to manipulate. Since the 2000s I think we have evolved a bit.

I agree. To me the term neocon applies to the Bush/Cheney type of Repubs who got us involved in Iraq and Afghanistan. And for what?

Trump’s version of Isolationism is perfect. He has kept relations with Russia, China, North Korea, etc. at an even keel.

No wonder Trump has been nominated for three Nobel Peace Prizes.

NONE of those who are commenting on Trump’s taxes know a damn thing about accounting.

NONE

I’m a 30 yr LP member and I’m voting Trump 2020.

I almost voted Trump in 2016, but pulled the lever for Johnson at the last minute. But I don’t even recognize the LP any more: they’ve gone full woke.

I don’t have to like Trump to vote for him. I don’t even have to agree with him on most issues. All I have to do is to open my eyes and understand that it’s either Trump or an authoritarian government lorded over by the Deep State.

President Trump appears to be an ALM-sman...pays the Absolute Legal Minimum.
