The only thing I disagree with him on is the minimum wage. Libertarians are about as little federal regulations as possible, none of these are what I wouldn’t expect from the libertarian representative.
Citizens should be able to rally and influence politics. Gun control to the extent that Hillary wants wouldn’t stop mass shootings and is unconstitutional. The majority of US citizens are against Obamacare, yet it’s still being pushed through despite our outcries. Free college through federal enforcement is unconstitutional and just plain wrong. A democratic means to obtain a lower cost for college would be boycotting.
Yeah, I knew all of this already and I’m 200% down for it.
God I hate Maher. So you read 29% of young people plan on voting for Gary Johnson, and you assume all of them defected from the Dems? What about ACTUAL libertarians, or those defecting from the GOP?
Chances are some of them came from the Sanders camp because they just want to rage against the machine, but assuming all or even most did is insulting.
During World War II the need for raw materials led to several drives and campaigns to either ration or recycle those goods in civilian life. There were scrap metal drives and rubber drives. The were rationing policies for necessary goods such as fuel, metals, and food. One of the more unusual campaigns was for civilians to save their used cooking fat, whatever was left over from fried chicken, French fries, bacon, or whatever fried foods that made up the American diet. Grease and fats were a precious war time material, needed because they contained high contents of glycerin, used in high explosives for bombs, mines, torpedoes, and artillery shells. The US Government encouraged housewives everywhere to collect their unwanted grease, distributing leaflets, posters, and commissioning radio advertisements to support the program. Civilians were encouraged to strain the grease so that no food particles remained, then store it in a can or jar until at least a pound was collected. The fat could then be sold to one of 250,000 participating butchers and meat retailer, or of 4,000 frozen food distributors. Those who turned in their grease were paid 4 cents a pound, and were also rewarded with 2 extra ration stamps.
The campaign to collect waste cooking fats during World War II was not as fruitful as expected. In December of 1943 butter, lard, vegetable oil, and other fats were rationed by the government. As a result many households chose to strain and reuse their cooking fats rather than collect it. Regardless, millions of pounds of used fats and cooking grease were collected for the war effort.
