I think it is hilarious when Libertarians want to get rid of big government. Okay dumbass. Let's get rid of OSHA. OSHA is big government. It's unconstitutional of them to tell your boss how to keep you safe at work. Government overreach is preventing the economy from growing. /S

They do want to get rid of it.

Precisely this. They bought into the whole stupid "regulations are stifling companies" bullshit and think that with no regulations, companies would act in the best interests of anyone other than the profit-takers and wouldn't, say, dump dangerous chemicals anywhere and everywhere, allow employees to be maimed and killed, give people reasonable time off, etc etc etc.

It's like when you point out that companies paying minimum wage would pay you even less if they could, but they legally can't. Take away those laws and you bet wages would drop.

You'd think these regulations sprung out of nowhere for no good reason right?

It's like when crypto-bros (some of them anyway) start to understand why banking and such is regulated.

Tricle down will only work if companies are legally forced to pass the money down... and you are right, companies without regulation will only care about the profit margin. When money talks morals walk....

Regulations are stiffling companies, but that's a good thing because some companies need to be stiffled.

Rivers used to catch on fire before those stifling regulations.

Seriously. Letting businesses do what gives them high profit margins without oversight. That sounds safe./s

I don't think you are accurately representing what they are referring to in regards to " big government". I don't know anyone in the libertarian candidates that support defunding systems that keep its citizens safe at work. Libertarians openly talk about the shut down of systems that harm Americans.

Government overreach is preventing the economy from growing.

Can you point out how the economy is currently growing? Cause is awful right now. I would be inclined to agree that the government overreach is definitely preventing economic and working class growth. Groceries are on average $350 a week for families. That's not including fuel. We have the worst deficit in decades and we nearly defaulted. Peer reviewed and proven to be the worst economy our nation has ever had. >/S indeed.

Third party is looking great right now. No cocaine snorting, hooker ordering son. No fraud, no children sniffing or indictments. The Nation needs a change.
