Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are like previous Dems & Reps in that they get something like a billion in campaign contributions, and the big donors in special interest groups are expecting something in return. Therefore, while Dems and Reps may throw some crumbs to the poor and middle class, the 1% richest will likely be favored. Favoritism pits groups against each other.
Gary Johnson does not favor one voter over another. He is for 100% of the population equally. To prove this, his budget cuts government departments and programs 43%. That's right, across the board, equally.
He wants to abolish the IRS. Federal income tax would cease. It would be replaced by a national sales tax of 23%, plus a 100% tax on cannabis. The 100% tax on cannabis would likely make it 10% of the cost it is now, giving the 50 million admitted cannabis users in US more money to spend on other things. This renewed industry (it was legal until 1937) would create jobs.
Also, cannabis often is excellent for pain. Gary Johnson used it 3 years when he fell 50 feet, bones broken in back, ribs, & knee. 25% of Americans say they are in chronic pain, so Drs. & Big Pharma can't help all.
Gary Johnson really cares about everyone equally. No lists of who he hates. Equal rights, equal treatment. For real for sure. Gary Johnson I think is 1 of the most honest, kindest and smartest to ever run for President.
He's a frugal self-made millionaire who built himself a modest house. He will veto all or part of most bills. Gary J can get 100 votes with $1, but the 2 others spend about $1,000 to get 100 votes. Gary Johnson has moved up in polls last few weeks from 4% to about 10%. They will allow him in the debates when he polls 15%. I think that could happen fairly soon.
He tells Republicans he's more fiscally conservative than Mitt Romney. He tells Democrats he's more socially liberal than Barack Obama. Please if you might have any interest visit Gary Johnson 2012 Thanks!
I like Gary Johnson, but he will not win.
The reason is simple, mainstream would not allow a candidate to debate in national TV unless the candidates are represent by the established Republicans and Democrats.
Note:
I'm not assuming you are/were a Paul supporter, but this is for You, just as much as it is for them
Starts around 5:20 but the whole video gives you an idea/feel of who we really are.
I have a lot to learn before I can make a commitment, so thanks for the info.

Isn't it sad that your TV/Cable network is electing the President of the United States
I have to ask, what exactly have you won with Obama or Romney as President....
I'd be willing to bet if you ask 100 people who will be running for president99 would be lucky to get 2 right.
I'd be surprised if 1 could name a third. a fourth is next to impossible....

Even then the candidate might not get enough air time.
[quote=godofthunder9010;24779857] In a very big way I want to see the Ron Paul and Libertarian elements within the GOP push Romney to be more ... well ... sane.
Ron Paul & Gary Johnson like freedom for all. Obama & Romney favor the 1% as purchased candidates, and have no problem with keeping hundreds of thousands of harmless people in prison. They both want more wars. Hundreds of thousands if not millions more dead, corporations make billions, taxpayers bill may be another $1 trillion. Purchased candidates can't reduce spending, as they owe so many return favors to those who bought their election. JMO.
Gary Johnson can't be bought & cares about the 100% equally. He figures he will take equally from Obama and Romney. Plus the independent voters, most will probably vote for Gary Johnson. And Gary J. will get many first time voters & votes from those that rarely vote. Gary Johnson tells Republicans he's more fiscally conservative than Romney. Gary J. tells Dems he's more socially liberal than Barack Obama.
Gary Johnson will likely get most of the "Ron Paulites" votes, too.
I can't find any significant differences between Obama & Romney. Gary Johnson 2012 dot com has issues comparisons of himself vs Obama or Romney. Romney may pick x-MN Gov. Tim Pawlenty as his VP. The former guv "T-Paw" went against most when we had a medical marijuana bill & he said he'd veto it in any form as requested by law enforcement lobbyists. Officers from many jurisdictions packed the committee rooms, & all got crossed out except cancer patients that doctors said were in their last days could send $1,000 to get a permission card (that would probably arrive after they were dead). Guv vetoed it.
25% of Americans say they are in chronic pain (Time poll). Recent anecdotes report people using Cannabis Oil to cure cancer & other often fatal illnesses. Cannabis Oil was available in pharmacies until 1937. With 85,000 toxins approved for our air, soil, food & water, we are having a cancer epidemic. And what may be the best treatment is illegal!
About 30% of Americans die from cancer, even though we spend the most on health care. The worldwide average for deaths by cancer is 13%. Romney, when asked about "marijuana" re-legalization asked aren't there any important questions? Wonder what could be more important than if one is dead or alive, or in unbearable pain or not? Obama won't discuss it.
Gary Johnson strongly favors re-legalization, as he used it for 3 years to manage pain, after falling 50', with multiple broken bones. So he knows that "no medical value" & "very dangerous" and very addicting in the 1970 CSA are fake. He hopes he could use executive order to remove it from schedule 1 in his first 4 days in office. He also wants to end the drug war & treat use of other illegal drugs as a medical rather than legal problem. Some people have used cannabis to get off more harmful drugs.
Gary Johnson would have a first year balanced budget by cutting all depts & programs by 43% because 43 cents of each dollar we spend is borrowed. He would end Dept of Education, letting schools decide how to spend money & letting parents pick schools. He would close IRS, replace personal & corporate income taxes with a 23% national sales tax that would likely exclude business to business sales, used items, most food & very poor would not have to pay. Plus the 100% tax on cannabis which should make it 1/10th of the cost under prohibition (phony drug war costs taxpayers $40B a year). 98% of drug deaths are caused by the legal ones, but those "drug dealers" buy the laws.

No one is going to balance the budget in one year, not without the support of both houses. What is it people do not understand? Except for executive privledge and executive action which can only be used in certain situations, everything has to go through both houses, it isn't up to the Pres only.
