Mike Gravel is wrong. Libertarians are NOT progressives.

[pnwmom]

Like the Democrats, the Libertarians are pro-civil liberties. They are unique in favoring an end to ALL drug laws.

Why are the Libertarians far more like the most right wing Republicans than the Democrats?

They are FOR unlimited free trade.
FOR freedom in the use of private property
FOR business de-regulation and the end of "corporate handouts"
FOR sharply reduced taxes
FOR privatization of all government services except the military


They are AGAINST the social "safety net"
AGAINST all gun laws
AGAINST taxpayer funded social security
AGAINST taxpayer funded health care
AGAINST taxpayer funded schools
AGAINST taxpayer funded emergency services
AGAINST taxpayer funded poverty programs
AGAINST environmental regulations that infringe on the use of private property
