Universal Greed

How is it that, while the middle class in America is (collectively) the most powerful voice in the country, they still tend to get the raw deal in nearly every situation? While I'll claim to know the answer, the situation still boggles my mind. The Middle Class is GREEDY! Follow the guy who says he's gonna give you something. It doesn't even matter if you know he has nothing to give... Follow him anyway.

Of course in the end you get nothing besides the leadership of a liar, who will use his power to help his powerful friends and whatever other powers helped to persuade you to give your support. It's sooooo surprising when the systems they implement go bottoms-up.

The purpose of government has been greatly compromised. Government exists ONLY to ensure an environment exists that allows its citizens to live up to thier full potential. It's not there to do something for you... It's there to tell you that you can do it for yourself. Or at least that's what its supposed to do...

A Libertarian will find political life in Canada increasing frustrating! So far as I know, there is no party in Canada with your philosophy.
(Am I correct, Megan?)

Republican/Tory

If there's a Libertarian Party, I've never heard of it. And we have a Marijuana Party.

The old Reform Party was the closest we had. Then they combined with the Conservatives.
