It came out that Romney doesn't believe in the "redistribution of wealth", and he also said that 47% of Americans aren't paying income tax, and believe they're victims. 

Don't you guys agree with this? Doesn't that mean you're on Romney's side? Will you vote for him?

Romney is a big government guy.

he wants income tax

he wants TSA

he wants patriot act

he wants NDAA

he wants more wars

he wants DHS

he wants government involved heavily in healthcare

he wants federal reserve counterfieting

he wants FEMA

 

does that sound like a libertarian to you?

Apparently, kylio27 agrees with stalin and hitler on various economic issues.

If Romney doesn't believe in the "redistribution of wealth", he must be a proponent of laissez-faire, is he a proponent of laissez-faire?

Do I agree with Romney that 47% of Americans don't pay income taxes? Yes, It's an objective fact. Do I agree with Romney that they're victims? Some of them are, some of them are not. I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread.

I don't agree with Romney. He was off by 53%.

kylio27:

And Obama said he would close down Gitmo and increase oversight on government surveillance due to the patriot act. Politicians say a lot of things. Since when did anybody with half a brain really genuinely trust a promise or the words of a president?

kylio, as a fellow dissident on this message board, I must tell you that your threads are not very helpful. Instead of starting threads stating things that everyone has heard before, I suggest examining and engaging with Austrian arguments closely, critically, and courteously.
