I agree with all of this. Any Libertarian would. But listen to a Bernie speech. It's all about free healthcare, free college, free this and free that. And when asked how he will pay for all of his additional spending? He says it will come from the 1 percent. I acknowledge when Bernie does good things. But everything he believes about economics is a total disaster.I think you're oversimplifying things. As a libertarian you probably recognize the folly of the Iraq war, and that it was caused by the incestuous relationship between corporations and government right?
You probably opposed the wall street bailouts where the government gave a bunch of banks that caused the economic crash huge sums of money, our money (your money), tax payer money, drooling dumbshit 99% money of the unwashed masses to save them.
I'm sure you've heard of the hundreds of companies who've gone out of their way to create loopholes to prevent them from paying taxes despite having incredible profits.
I want smaller government. Because Government only knows how to makes things worse and less efficient. Bernie wants a gigantic government.
You said "there are absolutely massive corporations growing like cancers and doing their best to undermine the public good in the name of profit," and I would say the biggest offender of this is our bloated government.
