Libertarian Party

About the Candidate

At age 21 I became a Democrat. They were the part of the working class who stood against the Republican party, which by and large served the interests of the millionaire class, old money. But then I saw Southern Democrats voting along with Republicans. Where people were poor their police had the latest equipment to prevent Americans from voting. Then in the North, state governments shifted from funding education to increased regulation for the sake of regulation. Most of the Democratic Leadership did little to improve our lives. They have given out a few crumbs to get themselves reelected, but unemployment increased. Taxes increased. What was even worse, government, unlike business, does not have any obligation to deliver anything for the money that it takes. And it was doing a good job of it. It took our money, expanded patronage jobs, jails, courts, police, added more laws, and we got higher crime, higher illiteracy, and more government control. How much money do we want to spend to tell someone not to smoke cigarettes? How much money do we want to spend to tell people not to take dangerous drugs? Even in jails there have been cases of drug usage. So, I have had it. I became a Libertarian. The harsh reality is my Democratic Precinct Captain was the cause of an expensive war on drugs that did not work, the deterioration of the school system, wars that I did not want. (Most of the terrorists had connections to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, not Iraq.)
