I have decided to write in response to Bryan Jennings and his false accusation that Libertarians are "crackpots". This is the viewpoint of the Republicans and Democrats with their elitist politicians and followers willing to vote or fawn at them for any reason. In fact, every time a Republican and a Democrat in Government farts and burps; many people think that they are smelling Chanel Number Five. Having said that, i support the Libertarian Party and their intention to reduce the size of government and make it work with little. It is the same as making an obese person cut off the excessive weight before he or she dies of a massive myocardial infarction [which is what will happen to the United States of America if Government Spending is NOT Cut by MORE than fifty percent.

We can start by cutting out the non essential portions of the government such as subsidizing International Organizations such as the United Nations, The International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. We can also remove some of the perks enjoyed by our elitist Republican and Democratic Government such as excessive bodyguards and limousines as well as the Twenty Thousand Dollar Toilet bought by the Pentagon with our tax money. We can make our elitist politicians pay out of their own pocket [as well as the pockets of the Oil Companies] to fund their foolish war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We can also withdraw our military forces from the world and have them concentrate in defending the borders of the United States of America.

For the Republicans and Democrats who are elitist, they can register as a private corporation. After all, political parties are nothing more than private corporations that employ politicians and other assistants with the aim of getting people to vote for their candidate. It is the equivalent of going out and choosing whether to eat at Pizza Hut, Burger King, or at a fancy restaurant in the Sheraton Hotel. Many things can also be abolished such as the FCC [Federal Communications Commission], The Federal Reserve [replace it with various banks issuing Gold and Silver Certificates], and the IRS [Internal Revenue Service]. The United States of America can receive its revenue via tourism. Many other departments can be abolished or united into a single department. The Department of Energy and Homeland Security can be abolished with the people of the United States of America being responsible for their defence and energy purposes.

It is for this reason and much more that Government Spending should be reduced to more than fifty percent, like for example sixty percent.
