Gary Johnson is a neo-liberal to the core. To him everything comes down to how much it costs.
He's anti-mandatory vaccinations.
He's all about FairTax which hit the poor harder than the rich. Screw people that don't have rich parents.
He's anti net neutrality and believes incumbents should manage the network as they see fit. Of course he opposes government intervention to keep the internet "independent". Let's rely on network access providers, cause that's working out well.
He's all about the free market and anti government meddling until either argument get in his way. He says government should not subsidize or bailout industry but hey it should support building more coal (pandering to coal nation).
He supports the TPP, which is nothing but a gift to entrenched big business and the erosion of other nations sovereignty.
He's a Constitutional "originalist", which is basically code word for "screw letting people decide how to govern themselves, we're sticking to the flawed work of some long dead white guys."
In short, he's just as vague when it comes to concrete solutions, big on talking points, pro rich, anti poor, but worst of all driven by idealism versus reality.
Typical politician. Nothing new to see there.
