Libertarian Party keeps it's comments enabled.

Just an example of it's consistency.

[George W. Bush]

What are you talking about ?

People want to profit. In capitalism, the more you sell or provide service, the more profit you make. This creates competition between two or more bodies competing for profit within the same industry. To sell more, the groups try to make better products at cheaper prices. This is why we need capitalism. If money is taken away from people who earn it (like in socialism and communism), that takes away the incentive to work, which takes away competition, which makes the economy go bad.

1:00 Those numbers are accurate, but misleading. They don't consider inflation since the Clinton era, and they don't consider the growth of GDP. You should show government spending as a percentage of GDP to give a clearer perspective.

[Nate Nobile]

too bad capatalism  is wrong!

[Rich Gilbertson]

Ok a 60 minutes showed how many Corporations actually paid the 40% you talked about and that came to less then 10 nation wide. You seem to gobble up the propaganda pretty fast.

The Banks are sitting on over a TRILLION right now and have done nothing with it.

Corporations post highest profits in history and have done little but give CEO a huge pay raise or invested in offshore jobs or slave labor.

I do not feel sorry for the Billionaires like you do.

[Ryan Chalmers]

How are they supposed to invest and hire when they are being taxed at 40% by the dems? The Government spends a trillion more than they bring in annually, you don't even know what your talking about , government spending is the main problem with the economy and what has put us in a hole. I think you get too much of your facts from youtube

[IggyTthunders]

*chuckle* She looks so silly with that phone.

[Ochibason]

This party is now being bought out and will be conformed.

[Rich Gilbertson]

Government spending is not what is wrong with the Economy. The Trillion being sat on by the Rich not being invested into financing the USA instead of financing Foreign investment.

Cutting Infrastructure will not be a solution but decline of the USA.

By the way TAXES in the USA are at 1950s levels so quit lying about facts.

What fixed MA BELL WAS BREAKING UP THE MONOPOLY not GOVERNMENT!

What will fix the Healthcare nothing that Libertarians have a solution for, IDEOLOGY!

[Christopher Wanha]

heheheh tacos rule!

[HooptieHamburger]

Yep. The left also said nothing when Clinton was bombing the Middle East. It was suddenly a big deal when Bush did it.
