I would vote Rand.

Turn into what?  A more free and prosperous nation?

Maybe if those backwatds nations practiced a little more austrian economics they might not be so backwards.


currently the liberal keynsian economic system is a dismal failure.    Even keynes himself said that his own system doesn't work and justified it by saying "in the long run were all dead"

but in fact its his economic theory which is dead in the long run, but socialists are completely blind to the long term anyways, they're all about instant gratification.

How does libertarian economics address global warming and other environmental concerns?

I do see your point.  Honestly this conversation started off a tongue in cheek response I was giving Stonehenge to his vote third party post.  I never meant for it to be taken this seriously.

I live in WI.  People here love him.  I think he's a lying puppet piece of shit.  The thought of him being our next president scares the fuck out of me.  I use humour to cope.

Rubio is a fanatic asshole much like graham or McCain. We need someone like that like we need ww3. I would gladly settle for Bernie over such creeps. Rand for the win!

Rand is as anti-EPA as his dad.  I love his drug policies but I love drinking water and fresh air quite a bit more.

Rand isn't going to let them pollute the water. He would be 100 times as good as obumble.

See, this is why people don't understand Libertarianism. Rand could be against the FDA, would you say that he doesn't like food and drugs?
Being anti-EPA doesn't mean one is against environmental policies, it just means that he is against a federal entity that is easily corruptible, handing down blanket edicts that affect states differently.

Kentucky has built a large portion of its economy around coal and when the EPA becomes nothing more than a black PR firm trying to create an unfavorable public opinion of coal, it makes you wonder why your tax dollars are going towards something that is damaging your state... its like if PETA were a federal government institution. Plus the EPA just gives wrist slaps to these giant corporations and in effect is like the catholic church selling indulgences.

You're right, I don't understand Libertarianism.  I asked earlier how it handles environmental issues when you first mentioned libertarian economics.

Clean air and water is a major concern of mine.  I do love some Libertarian policies.  I'm honestly interested in hearing how it addresses clean air and water.

Even the Libertarian hero Adam Smith advocated regulation on behalf of labor. You people have gone beyond the scope of reasonable discussion.

Libertarians say that the market will dictate whether clean air and water are valuable enough for people to vote on their behalf with their dollars. We all know that's not the way of things.

First of all, not all libertarians say that. Secondly, people can vote all they want now days but the big money still calls the shots.

Libertarianism has been pushed by the Koch brothers for years, because they are the type of people who would benefit from a Libertarian model, exclusively.

There actually is a philosophy behind Libertarianism, which I have just expressed. The fact that Libertarians don't even know what the fuck they stand for isn't my problem.

As do I. But considering what's running on the Rep side next year, I'll probably vote Dem.

Libertarianism has become a new fad, which is why there are so many assholes running around identifying as Libertarians who have a very rough understanding of what it even is. I am very well aware of what it means to be a Libertarian, and I used to identify as one myself. I don't have to be a Libertarian to know what the term means.

Libertarianism is a political philosophy. It is not exclusive to America. In fact, the only country to have ever implemented Libertarianism is not American.
