In my opinion

[Keyser Soze]

I'm having a hard time believing what I'm reading. The ignorance and prejudice toward the Libertarian Party is beyond belief. Someone tell me the great economic strategy of the Democrat and Republican Party. You seem to think anything else is crazy, so what’s so great about these two parties’ positions? Smaller, less restrictive government, more personal responsibility is a bad idea? Why? Clint Eastwood is a libertarian, so is Drew Carry. A lot of people are. I run my own business. 16% for SS, 10.5% workman’s comp, 33% Fed, 8.75% sales tax, 6% NYS, 7.5% unemployment. I’m already over 50% this isn’t even all of it. Add in fees, required insurance and now I’m pushing 70%. Let’s add the hidden taxes, your cell phone, gasoline, cigarettes, and alcohol. The list goes on. Now you’re pushing 85% of what you make goes to the government. That’s OK with you. Us Libertarians are just a bunch of nuts who want to keep what we make, or a least more than 15% of it. Oh yeah, I have to pay a guy about $2,000.00 just to figure out how much of my money I have to give them. Now tell me again what’s so great about the system we have now?

i think our tax system is highly flawed and needs to be fixed from the ground up, but that doesn't mean i want to adopt every wackjob item on the libertarian platform. i think they have some good ideas, but taken as a whole, they're fucking lunatics.
