    That’s a great start! I’m curious how you reconcile that with other right wing views like free-market capitalism, smaller government, and deregulation? Also curious about those who either temporarily or permanently can’t work.

      Yes exactly right! I love oil and I think we really need to make sure that everyone gets enough food and medicine so that they can learn about why it’s so great. If we get more money into schools and research we will be the best drillers on the planet. Right makes right!

      Well obviously smaller government needs to get its ass out of people’s private health decisions and bedrooms, and stop helping other countries invade their neighbors or abuse their populace. Big waste of money! Then it should pull back funds from enforcing ridiculous outdated regulations like zoning and trespassing that restrict the American freedom to live where you want. Also, churches should participate in free-market capitalism like every other business, openly showing their books and chipping in exactly the same percentage of taxes, as should businesses of all sizes, with a clear and simple tax code. Loopholes are sneaky communist bullshit! And we need to get the tax brackets back to Reagan levels!

      All those things are important yes of course, but as someone on the far right, I believe we need to focus on making sure the fundamental freedom and dignity of all people is guaranteed, before we fix those other things.

      Under the “free market” a kid can make thousands of dollars unboxing or reviewing toys, sounds like someone slaving away at a minimum wage job should also be able to support themselves
