__________________  http://www.harrybrowne2000.org __________________ © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com In the Republican presidential debate Monday, each candidate tried to prove that he's qualified to run the country. George W. Bush bragged about how well he has run Texas, and promised to do the same for America. John McCain wants to reform government by restricting your access to political campaigns. Gary Bauer and Alan Keyes want a moral revival. Steve Forbes wants to let you have school vouchers and a little of your retirement money. And Orrin Hatch -- well, Orrin Hatch just wants to be president. I was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1996, and in February I will announce my candidacy for 2000. Unlike the Republican candidates, I don't believe I can run the country. I don't believe I can run your life. I don't believe I can know how much you should put aside for your retirement or what schools your children should attend. And I don't believe any Republican or Democratic candidate can do these things either. America was founded on the principle that you are a sovereign individual capable of deciding what to do with your life -- how to spend the money you earn, how to raise your own children. The Founding Fathers would be astounded at the idea that the politicians should run your life, the economy, or the country. But today virtually every politician presumes to know what's best for everyone. As a result, unless you're way below average, at least 47 percent of everything you earn is taxed and spent by federal, state, and local governments. And you must choose among candidates who actually are arguing over whether the government's share of your earnings should go up to 48 percent or down to 46 percent. I have a different attitude. I want to make the federal government so small that we don't need an income tax at all -- and we don't need anything to replace it. I want you to be free to keep every dollar you earn -- to spend it, save it, or give it away as you think best, not as the politicians decide. I want you to be completely free of the 15 percent Social Security tax -- so you can use that money for a truly secure retirement that suits you, not the politicians. I want you to be able to live in a safe city and a safe neighborhood -- free of the criminal black markets, gang warfare and drive-by shootings that are fueled by the politicians' great moral crusade to make America a drug-free zone. In short, I believe you should decide for yourself what to do with the money you earn. I believe you're the one to decide how to raise your children. And I believe you know best how to live your own life. I don't believe in vouchers or medical savings accounts. I don't believe in taking your money and giving it to "faith-based organizations" of my choice. I don't believe in Social Security or the income tax or the War on Drugs. I don't believe in politicians making decisions about your life. I believe in you. Harry Browne Libertarian Candidate for President __________________ Time to vote for HarryHe wants to get rid of income taxes __________________ So, Who are you voting for, renots?   __________________ I think this is where my vote's going too, but I sincerely doubt the guy's going to even come NEAR 5%. Therefore, why bother? Oh well, I guess there's somethig noble about putting your mark next to what you believe.  __________________ This guy really does make the most sense out of all the candidates. Remember the simpsons episode: voting for a 3rd party it throwing away your vote"but harry says it best in that 3rd party debate, people vote for who is going to bring them to hell slower __________________ I'm not going to 'waste' my vote on the 2-headed monster.Remember folks a strong third party turnout forces the duopoly to listen up; they'd rather have U stay home and not vote so then they can IGNORE U. Think for yourself, vote on your principles and not from fear[especially not from a fear created by people that seem to have no clue who was running the administration the last 8 years; give u a hint a wasn't a republican], and you made ur vote COUNT. The only truely wasted vote is "voting for the lesser of 2 evils"; U usually end up with the worst of all possible evils that route. ;0) __________________ Besides u gnow if they were to elect MC Al G we'd have to elect republicans to congress to compensate and that would definately be the worst of all evils.For the sake of the progressive movement Al G should step down and give Nader a real chance of winning. :0) p.s. do U really think Al cares about anything other than getting and staying in power? __________________ Quote:
Ross "Look at this chart" Perot didn't talk as much sense as Harry Browne, and look how many votes he got. Not only that he managed to single-handedly change the main issue to balancing the budget, which actually happened! So its not about who necessarily gets elected; its about the issues that get mandated by people rejecting the duopoly that matter. That's why a third party vote is so important Besides using that argument, why would anyone vote for Gore; it's not like he's got a snowball chance in hell of getting elected despite what the big brainwash wants U to hear. :0) [Edited by renots on 11-02-2000 at 04:57 PM] __________________ I think Gore has long forsaken the progressive ticket.And do you really think ANY of them are interested in anything BUT getting and staying in power? Don't kid yourself, renots... __________________ Quote:
Sadly, the difference in the level and sophistication between Crazy ol' Ross and Harry Browne is monumental. Ross gets heard. You'll never hear a peep out of Harry, even if he had the key to the goddamn meaning of life. __________________ Unfortunately it'll never happen. Too many people in this country are addicted to suckling on the federal government's humongous taxpayer funded breasts. Too many people would be scared Uncle Sugar won't take care of them.  __________________ Quote:
not really. most people really aren't getting as much back from federal government as they think; in the long run wealth has been distributed upwards and away from the electorate with a few crumbs thrown back to brainwash the masses into thinking they are getting a good deal. I think Harry said it best when he said,"Government is good at one thing; it gnows how to break your legs and then hand you a crutch and say 'see, if it weren't for the government you couldn't walk'" Especially here on the west coast we are totally gettin' jacked by washington; here we are producin' all the new wealth and we have to send most of it to washington so "it can take care of us". All I can say is look at the actual city of washington d.c. to see how good a caretaker that pork~barrel really is. ;0) __________________ Quote:

yeah, even if the 2 main candidates R aliens. that simpson episode was I think 4 years ago and I hope everyone's gotten the true point of that satire: Don't let aliens tell U who to vote for! __________________ "All I can say is look at the actual city of washington d.c. to see how good a caretaker that pork~barrel really is."  washington d.c.
