Bob Barr says it's time to fix broken US

Former U.S. Congressman Bob Barr ran for president in 2008 on the Libertarian ticket long before a Tea Party rally or the recent victory in Kentucky of Rand Paul. Barr weighs in on tea party fervor and the problem with two party politics and Washington.

Fire all of the goverment start over and only pay them 7.25 an hour thats all they need thats what we are supposed to live on

@tatonka6969 We live in a capitalistic society. 7.25 is NOT what were supposed to live on.

Where was this tea party 6 years ago or even 4 years ago when the country was going down? Did the country just get into all this debt in 2 years? I'm an independent voter but what do you think happened to the surplus of money when Clinton was in office. Do you really think those millionaire talk show host are really concerned about you? Look up offshore accounts people. Bank accounts are for the average citizen. Nobody burned any money. Who do you think shipped jobs overseas? Learn Chinese.

Yeah, I find Stossel difficult to figure out. He has lots of good libertarian talking points, but he never seems to mention the most important prerequisite to a free market: non-monopolistic, decentralized 'competing currencies.'

It makes me wonder whose interests he represents.

@LibertaerUeberAlles He never sabotaged McCain. McCain and Obama both sabotaged the third party candidates.

@LibertaerUeberAlles

I don't know either. I mean look at John Stossel, he use to be a big government liberal, but he switched to Libertarian and since then has always had a Libertarian position on issues. Both personnel and economic freedom.

You RT give us excellent interviews. Thanks

Now is not the time. Trying to fix anything now is bound for derailment, too much going on.

@GovernmentSham912

He's a recent, self-declared convert to libertarianism. If I remember correctly, he ran under the Libertarian Party ticket which helped sabotage McCain and the Republicans (not that that's bad). For this reason, some suggest that he was a shill for the opposition. Whether he is or not, I don't know.

I don't care what anyone says about Bob Barr. This interview as ON POINT start to finish. BTW, if Bush/Obama can assassinate Americans under their own secret suspicion, all they would be doing is the same thing they did with Iraq. War based on lies and falsified evidence = people dying for nothing.

Obama and Bush are war criminals. The sooner we put them on trial the sooner we can make justice of this broken, hell-bent world.
