What's good about a candidate who thinks shifting all of the tax burden of the state onto the poorest in society is a reasonable campaign platform?
That's what I don't get about anybody who's not a 1%er voting for a libertardian candidate, they are explicitly voting for a politician whose whole raison d'etre is to fuck them over because to use the terminology of Ayn Rand, they're "looters, if they weren't they'd be rich capitalists".
One, if he were elected, he'd never be able to implement his tax plans and two, it include 'prebates' to address the regressive taxation issue, so those of lower means would effectively pay less or even none of the tax in practice. And while there's plenty of criticism to be directed at Rand's writings, that's a misrepresentation of her person. She had a problem with welfare, but was for anyone who worked for a living without getting a handout. There's a reasonable issue to take up with that, but it's not hyperbole about 'rich capitalists'.
