This Piece of Orange Shit Belongs In Jail

RE: This Piece of Orange Shit Belongs In Jail
Rhythm Wrote:To say that there's no percentage in libertarian policies for big business (koch merely being one example of the demographic), is, I think, a stretch.  Isn;t that one of the things that they proudly claim to possess?  They are good for business, right?  Having two options that are good for business (as they see it) and one option that isn't (as they see it) is a blunt skewering of potential outcomes in one's favor.  Doesn't take a conspiracy, just brute force of numbers.

In any case, the LP doesn;t get the support that the other parties do, that's for sure.  They won;t, until someone can show those backers how to monetize their policies - and no, not in the direct and obvious way in which those policies are communicated, lol.  For example, if getting rid of the doe beacme a liberatrian policy (and boy it;s a fan favorite, aint it) then private schools would be more profitable than they already are..should the LP be ensconced as a power player.  "School choice" would be the name of the LP sponsored bill...but it;s use would be in backhanded private school subsidies.  Now, right now, not only dos the LP not possess any significant political power, their policies offer no novel modification of that business model, and the religious right have a better pretext for their private schools..so if you were an interested backer, specifically in that industry, who would you give -your- money too?  

Or, as we might call it...business as usual.

How does having a 'good for the economy' alternative to Republicans benefit the Koch brothers? It potentially takes votes away from the Republicans they're backing. It's the opposite of skewing outcomes in their favor. And libertarians: still against corporate subsidies or any special privileges from the government for corporations. Rent-seeking behavior is not okay to libertarians. Speaking broadly, since libertarians are on a spectrum like any other relatively large group. The only thing the Koch brothers care about is making money, and Republicans serve them so well in that regard that they would be working against their own interests to back libertarian candidates. They'd be better off backing Democrats on the theory that their money will suffice to tug their reigns once they're in office.
The numbers don't work.

If I were an interested backer, I would give my money to Republicans. Giving my money to an LP candidate would not get me anything that I want (unless I voted that way for ideological reasons, i.e., because I was a Libertarian).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
