I just found it funny how isidewith decided that you somehow support all of those candidates on "foreign policy" views at the same time when they all have very different foreign policy views.

But you will still shill (probably vote) for Trump. The poll does not have an appropriate level to indicate the importance of your collectivist view of property. I am working on mine at this minute.

Maybe in the way I pitch things. I always scored as a slightly left libertarian. I have strongly supported a moderate or pragmatic approach for the LP since joining.

Grind is just a vulgar libertarian if he is not an NRxer.

Uhhggg, I'm closer to Trump than you.

Most of the things that I agreed with Trump are were immigration issues, for instance, not thinking that illegal immigrants should get in-state tuition. I'm not anti-immigrant, I just think it should be done through a legal, orderly process. Illegal immigration also isn't important to me at all and I probably should've represented that by lowering my importance a bunch. While the parts of immigration that Trump and I disagree on (banning an entire ethnicity from the US) are extremely important to me.
 
Also, I'm of the position that consumption taxes should be abolished. They are the most regressive taxes in existence. A rich person may pay 1% or less of their income in a year in consumption taxes, whereas a poor person will often have debts that push their burden under a sales tax above what it would be under an income tax of an equivalent rate. Property taxes are actually fairly progressive in comparison, so there's no way that I'd support eliminating property taxes at the expense of raising the sales tax. That would be a massive reallocation of the tax burden from the wealthy to the poor and middle class.

Where did you read, in your safe place, that Trump wanted to "ban an entire ethnicity from the US"??

I'll understand if you run from this question or have nothing to support your assertion.

Yeah, I am not sure why I answered that way. I guess, I wasn't sure hit the other answers and went for the reduced spending.
 
my list is libertarians all the way down. you are in the 80's with a bunch of socialists. tsk tsk.

i miss it when you were the cool libertarian that rode a motorcycle. (did i make that up or is that real?)

I'm high as balls right now

My goal of the last 1.5 years is to get a motorcycle. Have always been putting it off. I guess I'll be the new cool libertarian on JPP that rejects the cager lifestyle. I'm gonna be free

I was thinking about getting a motorcycle too. Then I looked up much more likely you are to die per mile driven on a motorcycle compared to a car, and it's like 30x. Nah.

nah here is the problem

there are a lot of retards that ride motorcycles that distort those numbers.

people that will ride without helmets or proper gear

and morons that like do wheelies on the highway going 100

If you factor out deaths by not wearing the right gear, and deaths from beinga dumbass, it's a much smaller rate.

Get one Grind.
There's no better therapy, to blow your problems away, then going for a long ride with friends.
It's like the wind just blows the dust off of you and it rejuvenates you.

Just don't get a city ride, get one that will get you out of the city and down the road.
