As I have challenged libertarians many times before, name me one modern state which could function under such fiscal constraints.
Why the fuck do you think this cartoon is so accurate?
If Johnson agrees with that platform plank then he is a horse's ass, too.
Just in response to this point specifically - I was curious myself so I went on his website. Here's him on the income tax:
Quote:Governor Johnson advocates for the elimination of special interest tax loopholes, to get rid of the double-taxation on small businesses, and ultimately, the replacement of all income and payroll taxes with a single consumption tax that determines your tax burden by how much you spend, not how much you earn. Such a tax would be structured to insure that no one’s tax burden for the purchase of basic family necessities would be increased. To the contrary, costs of necessities would likely decrease with the elimination of taxes already included in the price of virtually everything we buy.
