Making rules that are fair is the challenge because no matter the rules cheaters will cheat. So the Trump idea appears to be that the fair system is the system that isn't fixed to one ideology but a system that always addresses cheating, when ever it arises. It is consistent with the benevolent fatherly authoritarian mindset looking out for his people which we see with many Trump policies.<br /><br />The concern has to be unpredictability making it difficult to do business and invest or that the rules can also be used partially, like Obama did, to quietly punish opposition and non-contributors and reward loyalty and $upporters. Once Obama turned the federal government into a corrupt Chicago/New England style machine-political racket, you know the cat is out of the bag, and we can never go back. Every decision made by every bureaucracy now must be assumed by all sides to be political payola. It's always been this way, Obama just made it overt and stopped having any pretense about it. From my perspective, as a lefty, the problem remains we have an outgoing center right politician and an incoming far-right candidate who will undoubtedly create unfair conditions to favor their own.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-25236582158740002952016-12-18T10:12:23.186-05:002016-12-18T10:12:23.186-05:00any chance you are considering a jump over to the ...<i>any chance you are considering a jump over to the alt-right like many former libertarians are doing?</i><br /><br />1. Please provide a detailed list of these “many former libertarians”. I have my doubts about their former libertarianism. The few that I have noticed appear to have no working understanding of the unlimited lifestyle options of covenant communities. <br /><br />2. Please define “jump over to the alt-right”. It’s already “legal” under libertarianism if you want to live in a strange white-ethnic enclave (although there would be no guaranty that you wouldn’t be ostracized by the rest of society who might refuse to sell you water or electricity). What more could they want?<br />Bob Roddishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263804608074597937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-2565131262110169042016-12-18T07:55:49.810-05:002016-12-18T07:55:49.810-05:00Bob,
