Isn't Rand Paul closer to someone who calls himself a libertarian?

Yes, big taxes do drive companies away. But it's not a deal breaker to me if it's done correctly. Like giving them back tax incentives to build and hire in the USA for instance or trade tariff advantages, etc.
No, Rand Paul is not closer to being a Libertarian. He uses SOME Libertarian ideas. But just like all Republicans and Democrats he isn't for real FREEDOM as our founding fathers envisioned it.
Both Rand and his dad Ron are strictly Republican through and through. The MEDIA calls them "the Libertarian wing of the Republican Party".
That's nonsense.
There is NO wing of the Republican Party that is pro-drug legalization, pro-choice, and not to mention pro-adult industry such as the Libertarians are. Being a Libertarian is all about freedom of choice as envisioned by Jefferson, Franklin, Hancock, Washington, etc.
I would suggest hunting that interview down from today. It was on CNN "State of The Union" show and Jake Tapper was hosting.
He asked Sanders about gun control for instance. And pointed out that Sanders was one of the people who voted down a bill that would have made gun manufacturers libel for murders committed with their product.
Sanders said that gun use and ownership in his home state of Vermont is completely the opposite of what guns are used for in a place like Chicago for instance. And he pointed out that 99.9% of legal gun owners have never used their guns for anything wrong.
He then said that making gun manufacturers libel would be the same as saying that if a person used a hammer to kill someone, then you could sue the company that made the hammer.
And he's right.
I'm open minded about things. And I am really, really wanting this country to stop electing people who just fucking lie and then do the exact opposite of what they promised.
I know everyone on here is anti-Trump for instance. But with Trump and Sanders...they are telling you exactly what they are going to do.
The American people seem to like it better when politicians lie to them and sell them a sweet story of unicorns and rainbows.
I'd rather hear it straight with no bullshit or political correctness garbage.
