There is no one in politics like this today...not the "liberty candidates", not Rand Paul, not anybody. Truth bombs:

^^^THIS is how you sell the liberty message to the people. Notice how he brings it all together at the end of the video.

by the way, Harry Browne predicted the 9/11 attacks 1 year before they happened:

He's exactly right... smaller government can't be sold unit by unit incrementally, it has to come as a complete package

Yes. This is why when conservatives like Rand argue that we need to "balance the budget" or start to "reform (cut) the entitlement programs", the average Joe sees this as what it truly is: a cut in the benefits he will receive. It's only by going to the bold positions like ending federal taxation altogether can you begin to show people what they could truly have without these government programs.

I love the last half of that OP video. That is the kind of argument that libertarians can win with everyday people. Why no one uses this anymore puzzles me. Harry Browne was a genius.

I think he's talking about 1993.

I love Harry Browne though, he has an excellent sales book for any salesmen out there.

I supported Harry Browne both times he ran for President. He would have been so much better than Clinton or Bush, Jr.
