Tax Resistance, Then and Now

I just finished listening to an amazing talk given by Charles Adams. It’s a very refreshing view on taxes. It is about 40 minutes long and totally worth it.

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.

  1.  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.
  2. 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”.
  3. Protect personal freedom and privacy.
  4. 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?
