Nuts
response to andrewprice's post Meet The Candidates
Does anyone Understand or care about economics. Social programs do not help anyone. Free markets are what made this country great. Obama talks about change but, he just wants to continue the long tradition of expanding government and social programs. What we really need is true reform. Completely Privatize Schools , Roads, heath care, police etc. Or at least let the states run them if they want them. Get rid of all subsidies and and trade barriers. Let the market decide what is usual to produce or not. We also need to reestablish our property rights. While Ron Paul is in favor of free markets he is somewhat of a conspiracy nut, and also completely out of the race. John Mccain has the best voting record of all candidates on free trade, by far. If you can't vote for mccain then if Bob Barr runs vote for him. Please lets not further expand these socialist agendas. These programs are what give the government and a president power over the economy. Without them they are powerless. We should not put our faith in any president to fix the economy. It is far to complex for any one person to manage. The best way to fix it is to keep the government out of it.

No Libertarian should vote for Bob Barr
There's a great alternative here:

Wayne Root is the only serious Libertarian Party candidate capable of bringing in 1,000,000+ votes. Barr is a drug warrior homophobe moron who disbelieves in jury rights. To hell with him.

What about poverty?
What, in your plan for our economy, can be done to help the 36 million people in poverty?

Remember the Gilded Age?
Social programs' effectiveness is largely pathetic at times, but the free market offers a extremely small even astronomical chance of help or hope when you are born into poverty and the only scholarship programs are empty PR stunts. The free market is also fragile, as in the case of the Great Depression. You want to know what happened to the demonized USSR back in the GD.... nothing. Beacause their entire economy was tortorously remade into being completely self-reliant. This is bad because now the idea of economic self-reliance can easily be made out to be Communist propaganda. The free market of today is reliant on goods made by Southeast Asian sweatshop slaves. Poisoned tooth-paste and faulty tires are just their way of saying thanks to the American corporations that keep them there against their will. That is apparently okay to you, because you dont care who is getting screwed by the elitist rich as long as they arent christian, white, and live a state over from you. There is a massive poor class created by the free market corporate machine, you just dont care about them, and i doubt that any free-market, corporate puppet, conservative cares either. I dont care about social programs, i just want the everyday products i use didnt make their way here from the bleeding hands of a starving child. Maybe considering letting the government ban these practices and institute programs that encourage and help self-reliant business practices might bring american production of goods out of the 70s and up to speed with Japan and China. I like a free market, free from slave labor and outsourcing, and the government is the only force that can accomplish this.
