The Libertarian debate will be on Friday at 9pm ET on Stossel on Fox Business. I'm not quite sure if I want to label myself as a Libertarian, but I am most certainly not a liberal or a conservative. I'm leaning toward former Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson., because frankly, I couldn't even tell you who the other candidates are. https://www.lp.org/candidates/presidential-candidates-2016
GJ seems like a dork to me but he's pretty good on the issues and he called Trump a pussy, so he's got my vote over Hildabeast and Trumpertantrum.
fiscally conservative, socially liberal, personal liberty, small government & lower taxes, follow the constitution
It was the first thing I noticed too. Did you see how Paul Ryan was rethinking how he sees the poor? Apparently he's come to the realization that most poor people don't want to be in a position to need government assistance but are in an unfortunate situation.... How long before he gets kicked out of the Republican Party?

LMAO. That is definitely a more liberal philosophy. Libertarians aren't always right down the middle. They can lean left or right. Either way it doesn't matter because we live in a 2 party country where everybody plays to emotion to reel them in to one side or the other. No room for 3rd parties. That's why I'm voting Trump. It will destroy the political election system as we know it and prompt for the reform we've been needing for decades. Worst case scenario it leads to the reform of the republican party, which is a good thing. Right now they are too much of a fringe group.
Supposedly poorer conservatives are more charitible than wealthy liberals according to these commies. https://www.rt.com/usa/193952-charity-conservatives-religion-utah/ Poorer conservatives more generous than wealthy liberals – new study Less well-off families from red states donate a relatively higher – and growing – proportion of their money to charity, while those at the top have been giving a smaller share as their income has increased, a new extensive study has revealed. Respected non-government sector newspaper The Philanthropy Chronicle collated the itemized charity deductions on the tax returns of hundreds of millions of Americans between 2006 and 2012, the latest year available. While only about a third of all givers write off their charity expenses, the sums included about 80 percent of all donations in the country. The study noted that while the amount of charitable giving by the US as a nation has remained steady at 3 percent, the poorer people are, the greater amount they spend on charity. And this trend has been exacerbated in the years covered by the study, which showed that those earning $25,000 or less contributed 16.6 percent more of their income, while those with incomes of over $200,000 were spending 4.5 percent less of their money on charity in 2012 than in 2006. The study does not give the countrywide overall percentage of money donated by each group. https://www.rt.com/usa/193952-charity-conservatives-religion-utah/
I was just thinking about this today. Poor people are poor, not because they are lazy, it's because they were born into it. With that said, it's time that we stop just handing out public assistance without educating people about how to end the vicious cycle. You will perpetuate poverty by becoming a parent at 13 and holding up convenience stores because you were never taught that finishing school and getting a job was an alternative way of making money. We live in a society where we teach minorities that they are underprivileged because of the color of their skin. It's the exact opposite. Minorities have the same opportunities as non-minorities with the advantage of government programs specifically for their advancement.
