Why I can not vote for either of the presidential candidates, and maybe not any Republicans or Democrats for any office (at least not this year).
These are four (national) issues I care about the most, in no particular order.
- Monetary Policy, protecting the strength of our currency. Inflation is the worst kind of tax, and we can do a lot of things right as a nation, but if our money is not worth anything, making things better is going to be much harder.
- Foreign Policy. We need to start minding our own business. Initially we need our attitude to change so foreign governments do not view us as a threat. Long term, we need to get military bases out of foreign countries and end “entangling alliances”.
- Protect personal freedom and privacy.
- Fiscal responsibility. Get rid of the national debt as soon as possible.
As far as I can tell neither of the presidential candidates plan to make any of these a priority. Am I wrong?
I would like a presidential candidate who agrees with me on 3 out of 4 of these issues.
Who could I vote for?
