How do you estimate a 3d party candidate should deal with foreign affair issues?Try to minimize spending and lower the debt or keep strong support for allied nations?Working class people seemingly would prefet the former approach,but politicians shouldn't rely on promised they aren't willing to deliver
Thanks for the question. I don't know. I seriously doubt that a third-party candidate can emerge primarily on foreign affairs. My guess is that domestic issues will dominate, so the best strategy would be to say very little about foreign policy.
I don’t think Libertarians would like my proposal much, but I think the more pragmatic ones would realize that it is better than the current welfare state so they would not oppose the reform.
I agree that the shift away from married families with children towards single-parent and blended families is a big part of the problem, but I do not think that it is the only problem.
I do believe, however, that my proposal for a Working Family Tax Credit would do more to fix the problem than any other policy proposal:
I do not think anything that has been tried up until now is anything of the scope of what I am proposing.
If a Working Family Tax credit is combined with a phase-out of means-tested benefits, it would radically change the financial incentives of people of below-average income individuals. We talking 12-40k differences in post-tax income. I seriously doubt that it would have marginal effects at best.
Don't get me wrong. I do not claim it will eliminate single-parent families, but I think that it will make a significant dent in the problem.

I never claimed that Libertarians "hate the poor." Where did you get that from?
And I believe that my proposal is a practical solution that doesn’t make the government bigger.
Thanks for the comment.

These kind of "pay people to live morally" plans tend to have marginal effects at best.
