    Part of the issue here is that you are supporting a libertarian platform. Cutting aid for the needy and cutting taxes to support oligarchy is pretty much their game plan. They won’t say they are supporting oligarchy, but it is the logical conclusion of their ideas.

      I do generally lean towards lowercase-L libertarianism (I don’t support the Libertarian party) but running a huge deficit isn’t libertarian. Taxes shouldn’t be lower than spending in the long term.

        Im empathetic to surface level libertarian stuff, but i have to treat them for what they are overall; supporters of oligarchy. Their attacks on environmental protections and civil rights don’t out right say it, but its clear and the logical conclusion for “let the market solve it”
