Libertarians being Pro-Union?
Now, you might be thinking that a Libertarians are against Unions, some libertarians are anti-unions but for me I'm for private individuals forming an organization that would help them negotiate deals with the employers this would describe a union. Unions have and still should be in the forefront of our economy. Unions did some good things like help increase the average wage of Americans. They provided safer working conditions, help workers getting payed more and some other things. What I do disagree about unions is their tendency to use government force for their benefit (this is also true for a lot of businesses like instead of going to a bank to get a loan they go to government). Not all unions are equal because I do favor private sector unions but government unions should be disbanded. Now about government unions are in the most technical since private but because they keep pressuring the politicians to increase their benefits (which in itself I don't have a problem), but the politicians tends to over due the benefits of public employees in the time of economic boom then when the economy goes under then the issues really come to arise. The sad thing is that the politicians that are responsible are long gone, in this current situation (especially in California's cities) I would be against the idea of public sector unions. Now, if the politicians were held to a really high standard then they wouldn't be put into these lucrative situations. We live in a time where unions is a "dirty word" but I do have to give them the respect that I do for any other private organization.

Brief Intros of all the Presidential Candidates
Those who watch/read the news would know that there are two people running for President, Obama and Romney. There are also other candidates out there like Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party (which I'm very biased for him), Jill Stein of the Green Party, and Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party. I urge you as a voter to look into all of the candidate's issues and records before you cast the vote in November. As you get to know each of the candidates you'll see which one will line up toward your belief in politics. There is a great site that your able to see who you should vote for in the upcoming election (http://www.isidewith.com/).
Obama - He wants to keep expanding government.
Romney - He wants to have slow reduction of government.
Johnson - He wants cut government spending around 43%.
Goode - He wants to have a constitutional government.
Jill Stein - She wants to have government policy to foster the US being environmentally friendly.
Now, this is a really basic overview that what basically describes on what they want to do and what they see government.
My choice of them is Gary Johnson. Here is why. He wants to scientifically reduce the scope and power of the Federal Government around 43%. He promises to propose a balance budget to congress in his first year. Congress has the power to not accept his balance budget but it will get the national conversation going about having real balanced budget. Both the Democrats and Republicans been reckless in spending, I think that the Republicans been more so because they campaign on fiscal responsibility and did the opposite of what they say. Please note that this isn't all of the Republicans but it is the Republican establishment that are the ones who say one thing to get elected and do the opposite. The Democrats at least have some credibility on the issue of government spending because they don't set any bar for their spending policies. His message is that he'll be cutting government scientifically so that us as Americans can enjoy a greater range of freedoms. According to the Heritage Foundation's Economic Freedom Index, the United States is in the category of the land of the mostly free (http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking). What Gary Johnson is campaigning that he essentially wants the United States to be in the category of the "Free".
The Question is whether you want to be more free or less free.

Back to blogging!
I've been trying the whole video blogging, I don't really like it nor I'm not the best at it, so I'm directing my efforts towards what I'm doing better at. I'm really liking the new interface of Blogger. It is much cleaner and more like Google.
