I believe the Libertarian party stance is that such damages should be addressed via lawsuits.
- gpm 10y agoSo, the party platform apparently opposes any government action on the issue. The reasoning seems to be more "it's not effective" than "the proper way to address it is lawsuits" though. On the other hand I've seen Gary Johnson quotes like this one > In 2016, as a candidate, Johnson talks about balancing the budget but lacks the zeal of libertarians who think the state could be cut in half without consequence. He’d keep Social Security for current retirees. He wouldn’t abolish the EPA, after learning in New Mexico how the government policed bad actors. > “In the libertarian view, without the EPA, you as an individual could sue under the law,” said Johnson. “But not really. You don’t have deep pockets to go up against Chevron.” From: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/is-libertarian-gary-johnson-a-factor-in-clinton-trump-matchup/2016/06/10/05025d84-2dc5-11e6-9b37-42985f6a265c_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/is-libertarian-gary-... Either way, good point.
