I agree, the social view is probably what pushes most people away from them. Conservative towards gov and leave the people out of it.
All these things are monumental to achieve, going back to the gold standard would mean people couldn't own gold again
flat tax would have to be done a little at a time, poor people would have to give up their big checks from the government each year
Reduce government size I'm all for, just reducing the size of the military to just protecting our borders and a few bases would be great
And power back to the states in a biggy with me, the feds are not suppose to have the power they currently have.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
