The big pain issue today is the economy and I patiently await your giving me some sketch of what Libertarians offer so to see if it may work better.

I have no clue nor care what your position is, coadie. I don't enjoy interacting with you and consider you a royal PITA most of the time. (Look that one up).

You seem to know all about Libertarians, so make your own choice.

I'm not a Libertarians because I like the people. You are reading into what I'm saying and making up all sorts of bologna (of course). The ideas I've heard, I've liked. The debates Ive heard, their position resonated with me more. And truly, with fiscal policy, Libertarians are conservatives. They tend to agree on many of the same issues -- this is why candidates like Ron Paul were able to run on the GOP platform for Prez. The audience wouldn't consider all his ideas completely foreign.

Where I differ from the ideal libertarians is that I don't believe a self-managed economy can work today. It's not practical. This is where Ayn Rand would take issue with me... but she's stuck in ideal world and those ideas don't meet reality so cleanly.

Who is Ayn Rand?

Can you describe a libertarian economic position or not?

I may be further along that road than you -- because like other Libertarians, I also am comfortable taking up social positions that I think better support smaller government as well.

Have you been told what Ron Paul considered his economic foundation?

Who is John Galt?

Wikipedia. Is your wiki down?

I haven't ever hear of John Galt.

John Galt (2 May 1779 – 11 April 1839) was a Scottish novelist, entrepreneur, and political and social commenter. Because he was the first novelist to deal with issues of the industrial revolution, he has been called the first political novelist in the English language[1].

I'm a Business Minor... I'm not an economist. I don't run for political office and write economic policy. I understand the principles, and have ideas about policy. I also believe in looking at the "macro" picture and checking with how those things are affected.

Exactly how minor?

I am still waiting to see your very brief report on economic positins from Libertarians.

Keep waiting. Sorry I have not expounded to the satisfaction of Professor Coadie!

How can the smartest man on AFF not know who Ayn Rand or John Galt is?

And you call yourself a conservative?

I looked up Ayn Rand and she is a fiction writer?

John Galt (2 May 1779 – 11 April 1839) was a Scottish novelist

This explains why it is difficult to portray libertarian economics? You can do it, I am very interested.

Is that all you found out about Ayn Rand? Keep digging, your doing good, son.

As far as portraying libertarian economics, I'm not sure what else you want from me. You are after something and frustrating yourself that you're not getting it. Awww....

I've more than adequately gave you an explanation of what most libertarians think about the economy and the government's role in the economy. If you want me to dissect economic systems and write you a book report, go jump off a cliff. Interact with what you're given.

Ron Paul mentions the Austrian School economics. Ludwig van Mises.
