I Was a Card-Carrying Libertarian: Confessions of a Black Sheep Republican
Power hungry people will always be drawn to positions of power, using whatever party label helps them get there. People who work to get into government to reduce their own power are rare. Voting for the lesser of two evils candidates reduces the rate of spread of government power, but we also need to support the rare individuals that actually kill off a government agency or two.
I think our best chance at cutting the federal government down to size would be if the middle class rapidly gained access to the same tax evasion possibilities that the rich enjoy. Picture convenient Cayman Island consulate offices with branch banks suddenly appearing in every major city. I bet millions of Americans could hand carry cash “outside” the US faster than Congress could react. Instant defacto tax cut on savings and investment.
