You know I disagree on that one. I seem to always follow the Libertarian party and not because I'm doing what the party wants either. I didn't become a Libertarian until after I figured out that my views didn't really fit the views of the other three parties. Finding the Libertarian party and viewing their platform was like finding my sould mate!
Padraic the Libertarian party promotes social justice,equality, and personal responsibility. That's why we are against most social programs that help people who are low income. We feel it's their personal responsibility to see to it that they are able to sustain themselves without the help of the government for basic needs. We do take into consideration certain circumstances like job losses or other unforseen problems. We are one of the most open parties when it comes to equality and other social issues besides the re distribution of wealth. We are pro gay marriage, pro legalized marijuana use, pro legalized prostitution, pro choice. Not many parties will say that they support all of those social issues.
