The best would be Weld but, his credentials are lacking. Eh, the LP is in trouble if they nominate wacko.

They all look at least a bit like wackos tbh.

Walsh would actually be decent, if he decides to run.

That 420 does do something to you, and other things but, that's speculating at this point.

Zoltan is probably the sanest besides Weld.

Ben Carson, to be fair. He's from the GOP (which guarantees a bulky voter base, but not as important as the following), has extremely good proposals and is himself an excellent example of what social mobility can lead to -- useful to shit on the dems.

The poll will be the most uninteresting you can imagine

by **Taihei Tengoku** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 1:51 pm

which group will bankrupt the united states?

1) retirees
2) students
3) "homeowners"
4) poors

It was going to be about guesstimating the next recession but you brought a hot take either

I don't think Ben Carson is a dynamic enough person to be shitting on anyone.

Zoltan Istavan? He had the best name in the election.

Catchiest little slogan too.

Indeed, that's why he suffered a massive attack by the media (and without it he would probably have won the race as he had a very bulky vote share in the primaries).

~~Shitting on people ain't a presidential qualification anyways but I can see your point~~

Istvan's theme song is "Forever Young."

Joke context: he's a transhumanist

Most would say the poor but, when you look at the amount of people retiring every day and the fact people are living longer, it becomes pretty clear that the cost of supporting them will rack up to trillions. So yeah, retirees must certainly.

by **The Xenopolis Confederation** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 6:28 pm

Tbh, this poll is everything wrong with right-libertarianism. Was that intentional?

The "poor" is a booby option that says more about the respondent than the survey

Most redistribution in the USA is upwards. Puts all the money in one place so bearing the monetary costs of the omnistate is electorally viable (for a little while more, anyways)

I mean, it's not wrong that Social Security is a massive money pit that politicians shovel money into.

le housing theory of everything is interesting, so it's probably homeowners and retirees who are the most guilty for holding AMERICA hostage

by **The Liberated Territories** » Mon Jun 11, 2018 6:48 pm

I'm generally skeptical of people who reduce all economic problems to "housing" or "land" like the Geoists.

NIMBYs (i.e. "homeowners") probably caused the recession so

Georgism is "correct" in theory but in practice nobody is going to pay a sufficient LVT b/c that would eliminate all smallholders. As to the last business cycle caused by a collapse of the housing market, housing theory probably has a lot to do in explaining why it happened.

What're right-libertarians views (on NS ofc) on free housing for all and dismantling landlord systems?

I don’t believe that private property should be abolished. I would love to see left-libertarians(or the alt-right) try to take my land away from me.
