Does the extremely low tax claim include the 15% property tax?
And are trying to assert that Hong Kong doesn't have a strong central government.
NOW under the Chicoms? Or B4 the ChiComs annexed it? Like Taiwan, Hong Kong is a major acquisition for them BECAUSE it's a financial and economic powerhouse.
A libertarian society?
Can you point to one that doesn't look like Somalia?
Many countries start OUT fairly free economically and socially, but allow their GOVERNMENTS to overstep their bounds.
Do you think OUR GOVT is currently staying WITHIN it's Constitutional bounds? Any conservative or lame GOP member just BITCHES about massive govt expansion of powers.
Libertarians aren't a "GOVERNING PHILOSOPHY" because NO NATION in the world after 100 hundred years of existence CAN CONTROL their govts. The Dems and Reps cant' even manage a budget properly every year. Cant speak independently of the party leadership
(see the massive attn that Manchin gets when he doesn't have a PARTY to support and LOOK smarter and more common sense than the other 534 mental midgets that parrot the party line. )
Don't think ANYONE wants to run for office and PROMISE to clear up ALL the problems that voting for inept corrupt and dysfunctional politics create.
We're here to REMIND people what the ORIGINAL GOAL of "KEEPING the swamp drained WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. And how incrementally, we had better TRY to turn this bus around by DESTROYING the players in our archaic 2 party system that are INFESTING the model of govt that we started out with.
Sometimes it better that the messaging COMES FROM dedicated people on the OUTSIDE of "the system" that have NO INTEREST in BEING "part of the problems".
