What is your opinion on his economic plan from the Austrian view point?
It involves forcing people to do things with their money, a horrible horrible idea that will never achieve economic growth or “create jobs”.
That’s the bottom line. Read Economice in One Lesson and see if you can spot the many flaws in his scheme.
I’m a Floridian so I might as well check him out.
From his website:
Well, it’s safe to say he’s not an Austrian.
He also has a strange fetish for a “zero-cost economy”:

Any thoughts on this “new economic system”?
If all he’s saying is “get govt out of the way and let free enterprise do what it wishes and we’ll be fine”, then he’s spot on.
If what he’s saying is “let’s make sure everyone does what I want, invests in what I think is good, and lets make laws to make sure they do it,” well we know what that is.
Judging from his other website, it looks a bit like the latter. A state bank that “we” own, taxes that will do no harm because the manufacturers will pay them, other stuff that can only be achieved by force.
This guy is a nutjob and an economic illiterate, even when compared to other politicians.
I am a floridian myself. He wont get anywhere, clasical politics
