		<description><![CDATA[Does being a libertarian mean that you don&#039;t accept scientific studies? Because 97 percent of climate scientists in the world agree that global warming is real and is already causing severe problems every day. Does being a libertarian mean that you don&#039;t accept economic studies? Because Bloomberg reported in February that electricity from new wind farms is cheaper than electricity from new fossil fuel plants. Does being a libertarian mean that you don&#039;t accept the results of studies published by the University of Massachusetts? Because their 2009 study showed that money spent on mass transit projects creates up to 6 times as many jobs as money spent on fossil fuel projects like the keystone pipeline. I know that libertarians can read and write, because you are one and wrote this article. I suggest that you consider your sources more carefully and learn to discern those that are economically and scientifically valid from those that are pandering to an audience of willfully ignorant zealots.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very good. I like.

just to add:

One columnist reminds that this will cost jobs especially among blacks who already have a higher unemployment rate. 

You explain well that the extra cost, money,  must come from somewhere, less employees, higher cost of goods and services (for the consumer), all leaving less money to spend elsewhere on something else.

I surmise that at least 80% of voters don&#039;t understand this fallacy.

IF a higher minimum wage is good, why not raise it to $20/hour?

I see it as form of socialism, a redistribution of wealth. 

If the Chinese work for $5/day, how can they buy US made at $9/hour?  How will the higher minimum wage help balance the trade deficit?

A $600 billion trade deficit is equal to 12 million jobs paying $50K/year, each.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don I believe you have it right. As your brother you know we don&#039;t always see things exactly the same way, but we agree on more things than we disagree about. 
Letting the country go more left is not the answer. 
There is a lot of conditioning that has to be overcome before the majority of our citizens will see things the Libertarian way. You know how I lean, but it still takes an effort on my part to see things your way. As a nation we have traveled a long way off the course that was intended by our founders.
In the meantime it is better to form alliances between our camps than drive wedges.  As a&quot;diehard&quot; Republican Tea Party Member I appreciate your effort toward a win win for America. It will not be forgotten and we have taken each a step toward common ground.

		<description><![CDATA[Punish the Republicans by giving President Obama four more years to increase the number of Americans in some way dependent on the government? Yeah, that&#039;ll show em. 

Seriously, I once thought that punishing the Republicans with a few losses might be a viable strategy too. But when you look at it from the Republicans point of view, it is counterproductive. 

We get at most 5% of the vote on a good year. So, if the GOP wants to court us, what can they offer that doesn&#039;t cost them more votes on the other end? 

If they come our way on a less aggressive foreign policy, how many votes do they lose to Democrats. Remember, the Neo-Cons were Democrats before, and if the GOP writes off the &quot;strong defense&quot; voting block to get us, they lose more than they gain.

Likewise, if they come our way on social issues, they lose more voters to the Constitution Party than they gain from us. 

Moving further toward Laissez Faire Capitalism won&#039;t gain them as many votes as pandering toward the middle.

In short, we just aren&#039;t in a position, with the electorate as it exists, to bully them our way. Anything they do to move our way costs them more votes than we have to give them. For them, it is about winning. 

There is nothing for us to gain by making them enemies, but as allies, we can persuade, especially since we are demonstrably right on the issues. 

Down here in Tidewater, by cooperating with the Tea Party component of the GOP, we are bringing more and more Republicans to see the Libertarian view, and when enough of the GOP thinks libertarian, we will be in a position to either bend the GOP our way or take the Tea Party away from the GOP. 

But if we sabotage the election, we are the enemy, and their ears and hearts will be closed to what we have to offer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would offer an alternative. Why do we libertarians compromise? If Republicans want the libertarian vote, well then offer a choice that does something in the way of not just slowing the growth of debt, loss of civil liberties, property rights, regulations, and taxes. Maybe when Republicans lose the election and blame libertarians maybe they will offer a viable alternative that reaches out to people who want liberty. When it is framed as Democrat or Republican decision; we lose since both of these parties on the tyranny side of the liberty and tyranny scale. 

&quot;The present generation suffers every hardship and cost of war, although anticipation pretends that it is covered by future generations. And this delusion is used to involve nations in wars, which they would never commence, if they knew that all the expense would fall upon themselves. It is twice suffered; by the living, who supply all the expenses of war; by the unborn, who supply an equivalent sum, to take up certificates of the expenses paid by the living.&quot;--John Taylor of Caroline]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are familiar with my political leanings. Yet my vehicle is a minivan, but I need it for my business when I go on a location assignment. 

It is packed with lighting gear, stands, cameras, etc.

I could have 2 vehicles, but that would just increase my costs.

Or, I could live near work, which I do (3 miles or so), and use less fuel than a Prius who commutes 30 miles.

Appearances are not always what they seem to be.

However, the staffer running the a/c is inexcusable.

And that holds true for all whether conservative or liberal.]]></description>
