| Subject: Anarcho-Capitalist NEWS: Libertarian Gary Johnson calls for eliminating IRS Mon Mar 17, 2014 1:15 am | |
| The country should eliminate all income, corporate and payroll taxes and replace them with a consumption tax, Libertarian Party 2012 presidential nominee Gary Johnson told an audience today.
“I believe that our lives would be changed for the better,” Johnson, a former Republican governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003, said during his keynote address before the Libertarian Party of Tennessee State Convention at the Embassy Suites and Conference Center off Medical Center Parkway near Interstate 24.
About 75 people attended the event in Murfreesboro, and the 60 or so still present by the final speech gave Johnson a standing ovation.
Among those applauding the speech was Rutherford County Circuit Court Clerk Laura Bohling.
“It was inspirational,” Bohling said. “I enjoyed it.”
Bohling is seeking re-election as a Republican.
“I am libertarian leaning,” said Bohling, noting that she does not agree with all of the positions of the Libertarian Party or Johnson. “I came to the Republican Party through (U.S. Rep.) Ron Paul ( of Texas).”
