Can someone explain the difference between someobe who is far right and a libertarian? What is the difference between far right and a constitutionist? What is the difference between far right supporting individual freedoms?
In this sense I am not sure what to think. I don’t know enough about the man or politics to have a real opinion.
The left uses the term far right to describe people they don’t like. Typically, people want to better the lower class with job opportunities instead of handouts.
I am still reading about this guy. Not sure what to think at this point.
While I want a smaller government. I’m not opposed to regulations. I just want the regulations to make sense and provide value.
Where I differ from a libertarian is that I’m not opposed to taxes. I just want them to be as low as possible and as efficient as possible. I don’t want the government distributing wealth as that isn’t efficient. If they want to lower poverty, makes minimum wage higher. Don’t create more welfare programs when wage increases would make more sense.
It’s one thing to want smaller government. It’s another to want to completely shut down core function of the government. This quote shows that he want to do the latter and I think it clearly illustrates why you would call him “extreme” right wing:
The president-elect also announced that public works would be “cut down to zero” and those already in progress would be put out to tender so that “there would be no more state spending”.
Public works includes roads and other such infrastructure work. He isn’t saying shrink. He’s saying zero. Shutting down core public works is pretty damn far out there.
That is where I disagree and am radically differ from libertarians.
I do believe the government is the best choice for some projects, even when it is not the most cost effective.
Roads are a perfect example. I have had libertarian friends claim the roads could be privatized with better results. I do not believe that since roads are vital for living. Imagine if someone bought all the roads in your town and then charged a crazy fee to use them. Roads would only be maintained in areas where it’s profitable instead of all over the place.
I also believe in a single payer health system. I think that is something the government should do. The military is another example of something that should be run by the government.
The less government spending the more they can cut all people’s income tax. The more governemt programs people want, the more moeny they must cut out ofyour pay.
I will not listen to any criticisms of businesses from anyone who has not experienced what is required of an owner in order to have the previlage to pay someone to work for them fulltime, and then they can demand more government regulations.

Imo labels are so overused sometimes that they become useless, or worse than useless.
