I gave Gary Johnson serious consideration in 2016 … until he came out for a carbon tax. Ain’t nuthin’ small government about that.
I’m not saying Gary Johnson is at the top of my list, but he definitely had a lot of better points than Kennedy. I forgot about the carbon tax but I can’t really explain why he would have done that especially as the Libertarian candidate. Maybe I’m missing something but that seems like an own goal.
straight from the LP platform:
“We support the removal of governmental impediments to free trade. Political freedom and escape from tyranny demand that individuals not be unreasonably constrained by government in the crossing of political boundaries. Economic freedom demands the unrestricted movement of human as well as financial capital across national borders.”
LP is thus anti-borders, anti-nations, and pro-globalists ... period ... at least RFKJ is staunchly pro-border ...
