Top 4 Moments of the Presidential Debate That Will Enrage Libertarians
3. Protectionism from both candidates
As The Libertarian Republic has explained before, you catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar. Mr. Trump, tariffs will not ever discourage businesses from leaving the United States. Mrs. Clinton, your punish the wealthy for being successful by taxing them an insane percentage is exactly what is driving these businesses out in the first place.
This is a perfect moment where Gary Johnson could have outshined both of them in an instant. Currently, we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world at 39.5%. Hillary wants to keep these kind of high rates going, which will continue the decline in jobs being made. Trump wants to lower the rate for businesses to 15%. While Johnson wants to completely eliminate the corporate tax, which would maximize job creation and minimize outsourcing, the correct way.
