Quote:By 2010, the brothers had donated over $100 million to dozens of [5]libertarian and conservative causes including think tanks, Republican candidates and advocacy groups against expanding government's role in health care and against climate change policies.[5]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_...h_brothers
Now, back to where we agree. Neither of us think that anyone has a good reason to back libertarian candidates, presently, in context of business. They have no capital. Backing the thinks tanks creates the capital, however. Now imagine that a libertarian (or libertarian leaning) group of legislators do manage to scrounge up that capital, and do get elected on the stumping campaign of getting rid of the minimum wage (and for all the right reasons..as they see them, nothing to do with their backers business interests). No benefit, no reason to have suppoirted that ideology>? How about the example above.....what libertarian think tanks did they donate to? The ones ideologically opposed to expanding governments role in health care and climate change.
Nothing in that, for them, you reckon? Seems to have worked fantastically. If Gary would just hop on board the climate change denial train he might get a few dollars thrown his way, but big business doesn;t actually -care- whether or not someone believe that climate change is man made, so long as that person would get rid of the EPA. This, notably, Johnson would not, and johnson is only notable in this in that he has radically departed views from previous libertarian candidates and the teaming masses of libertarians pandered to on am radio. When I say radically departed I mean, of course, that he's willing to negotiate on how hard he'll cut it.
