Gary Johnson loses his cool when pressed on his disputed tax policy | US Elections 2016

The Libertarian presidential candidate’s national poll numbers have plummeted since August, despite Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump having exceptionally low favorability ratings. In a tense interview with Paul Lewis, Johnson said he ‘didn’t want to argue’ about the logistics of his tax policy and tried to change the subject to marijuana legalization.

    Ah man this is quite painful to watch. "I don't want to argue." If you don't want to argue your case then why the fuck are you running for president? Is that what he would have said if he was in the debates? That he doesn't want to argue?

    He was offered 2 debate opportunities with Jill Stein by TYT and Democracy Now, and he rejected both. Yes, apparently he doesn't want to argue his case.

    last election they did a big 3rd party debate, so he might have had scheduling issues or there was something wrong about those debates. Maybe they didn't offer the debate to other people running. In his eyes maybe that would perpetuating the 2 party system.

    Keith Gee you missed it. Gary was basically saying that just because the majority of people criticizes something it doesn't mean that what you're doing is wrong. This is a fallacious argument called appeal to authority. That is why Gary Johnson brought up the legalization of weed because most people said it was bad, but it turned out really well in NM and other states.

    More importantly; "I don't want to argue" he says when being pressed on his tax policy which has recieved criticism from economists. Should'nt a presidential candidate first of all be prepared to argue about something this important secondly have strong arguments for his tax policy he can "whip out" at any time? How are people voting for this person? I mean he is a dumb clown how is this happening? (Rethorical questions btw)

I can't in all honestly say that Stein is qualified to be president or that she even behaves as a candidate for that office should, but I'm tempted to vote for her just to help get the Greens a higher share of the popular vote and gain legitimacy. On the other hand, don't you think voting for a bad candidate in a good party sends the wrong message to the party about what candidates they should be nominating? Does voting for Johnson help the Libertarian party, or does it just reaffirm that Johnson is the guy they should be running? I kinda think that third parties need to nominate the right people before we should help them get those people onto the stage. That goes for both Johnson and Stein.

    ***** How the hell is it done on a state level? "School districts and independent schools that choose to take part in the lunch program get cash subsidies and USDA foods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for each meal they serve. In return, they must serve lunches that meet Federal requirements, and they must offer free or reduced price lunches to eligible children." How is that not a federal government plan? If a family is only making 11,000 a year, then there are severe issues that lay on the individuals to solve. Not to mention you can still expect to be taxed $900+ a year. $900 can be spent wisely and efficiently to make a good meal for your kids. Or even say fuck it and just get them 3 hamburgers from McDonalds every day. Also, coming from a "privileged" family that made even less than $11,000 for many years of my childhood, I have no sympathy for parents who make so little and yet still have kids.

    Mind telling the sheep how on Earth we fund government programs, the military, roads, etc. when we eliminate income tax? The comparison is apples to oranges and that is why it is viewed as him dodging the question. Marijuana legalization was not a concern over economics, it was largely a concern of ethics. There are many economic benefits that come from legalization such as eliminating the drug dealers, but I think many people would argue that there are plenty of other drugs which cause much more crime than marijuana. Now to come back to the tax plan, if I still have your attention (Johnson would probably have tuned out by now). There is not much room here for ethics in tax policy, things must be paid for that's just how it works. Where there is room for ethics in taxes is in their transparency in what they go toward. If that were his argument, maybe I would consider what he is saying. But no, his solution is just like every other crackpot libertarian and that is to eliminate taxes so you can go live on your isolated farm. Sorry kids, that is not where 21st century western civilization is at the moment. Maybe in the future, when our society crumbles you can start anew with your amazing government. And then a band of rabid warlords can round you all up into slavery because you dumbasses haven't funded a military.

    Tyler Farmer He didn't say eliminate taxes. His point is to simplify the easiest way, consumption tax, thus helping to eliminate lobbyists tax laws. The only reason most credits and deductions are there is because an institution paid politicians off to pass a law. I worked at the IRS and the only reason tens of thousands of people work there and waste tax dollars is because the laws are ridiculously complex. Would it not be better to take money out of politics in every way possible so the rich and powerful don't get more so? People that call Libertarians crackpots or crazy don't understand economics very well.

    I admit, I do not study economics. I would argue though, that it is not necessary to when it comes to taxation. If anything, a law degree and a background in philosophy and human psychology would probably be the most useful! As you say one of the greatest hindrances of taxation is loopholes and corruption. To your point though, a consumption tax does make logical sense, except for the fact that there are many things which you do not "consume" but which you partake (such as all public grounds and public areas). We need taxes to fund these things, and eliminating income taxes would be the surest way to destroy these things. The wealthy largely keep these institutions afloat via their income taxes. To get rid of that would be ridiculous, and that is what my post was about. Getting rid of the IRS is actually something I never even brought up, because I actually agree with him there. I think both conservatives and libertarians would agree on that. It is a big building that provides people with jobs. Their job being making a process needlessly complex so corporations can dodge taxes and in doing so, giving a bunch of pencil pushers jobs.

He knows he can't swing that and I think he's smart enough to realise that he may never be able to. People like to rain on his parade about the ideal Libertarian tax plan. They wouldn't lower taxes if it meant a deficit and they wouldn't create unequal opportunity. One reason I think Johnson Presidency would go well is because I could see the congress switching progressive. If that were to happen it would keep him in check.

Saying that world economist disagree with him isn't a counterargument on his tax policy, so clearly all the interviewer wanted to do _was_ argue, in a sense at least. He wasn't providing an actual reason why his tax policy was bad, just regurgitating the establishment's opinion about it. This likely resonated with the mountains of propaganda speech he had to deal with regarding marijuana legalization, and he got a bit hotheaded. Big deal, ideas are more important than presentation in my opinion, and I think this man as some very logical ideas.

A fair-tax provision providing every family to live above the poverty level - while having an incentive to work, will be a tremendous boost to the nation. Like with mj legalization, Johnson was thinking ahead, and that's what we need in politics. I often cite Eugene Debs, who got only 6% of the vote in 1912, but set the stage for the future of the United States. J/W will do the same. Gary Johnson is a good man, a great inspiration in fact, who was thrown under the bus in this hideous 2016 election cycle by MSM. Shame on America, they have not recognized their folly. I will thank Gary every day for making me realize that free thinking & common sense trumps over whatever "the system" is promoting to us...

You obviously manipulated this video to show only what you wanted, and cut in just such a place that most of your viewers are only going to share it as is and look no further. You know most ppl are like that, which means you did it on purpose. glad to have another crap media to add to my list of news sources that can't be trusted.

They could have sent the election into the House where the Republican majority might have favored Weld over both Trump and Clinton. Long shot, but certainly more viable than what they are doing now. But I don't really know Weld that well. Closer scrutiny might have revealed other flaws that could have changed that.

    Gary is obviously frustrated. He should've been allowed to debate. His mistakes, compared to the two major candidates are nothing. This man is honest and humble. You can't say that about Trump or Hilary. Gary also has a pretty impressive resume. No Republican or Democrat will ever bring us change. They put on a show, but behind the scenes it's an entirely different story. There's no doubt in my mind that if Johnson had been allowed to debate, he'd be over 30% in the national polls. The 15% rule shouldn't have had to apply to Johnson. He's on the ballad in all 50 states, that should've been enough to allow him in the debates. Gary asked in the video, "then why are you here?". I'll tell you why, they want to delegitimize the idea of a third party vote for this election. A vote for a Gary Johnson, is a vote for a trash can. I vote trash can. All that being said, if Gov.Jesse Ventura would have ran, he would've destroyed Trump and Hillary.

Most people are completely ignorant of what far left politics actually are - all their perceptions are base caricatures pumped into their head by the ruling classes.

    I don't think some of you are understanding what he meant with the marijuana legalization counterpoint at the end. He meant he supported that long before anyone thought that was remotely reasonable, just as he supports this tax policy with everyone telling him it's ridiculous. He means people's view on policies change over time, and he thinks this tax policy will be yet another example of that. I'm not someone who will be voting for Johnson, but I have to say I think the marijuana point somewhat saved his argument towards the end. It just seems like it's kind of going over people's heads.
