Libertarian Party says crony capitalism, and not real capitalism, is the problem
The Chairman of the Libertarian Party, Mark Hinkle, said the Occupy Wall Street protesters should be fighting crony capitalism, and not real capitalism.
In a statement released on Oct. 14, Hinkle said he ‘’has followed with interest the Occupy Wall Street protesters, who called themselves the 99%’’. The protest, which started in mid September, has Capitalism among their many complaints.
According to the head of the Libertarian Party, an institution founded in 1971, protesters should be complaining against crony capitalism and not real capitalism, which he says stands for free markets and never for ‘’absolving businesses of liability for their actions.’’
“It is true that 99% of Americans do not enjoy the special benefits of crony capitalism because in such model the government hands out special favors and protections to politically well-connected businesses,” said Hinkle.
The Chairman of the Libertarian Party, the third largest and fastest growing party in the United States, claimed that “most of our economy today does not resemble a free market at all. A free market is where the government leaves businesses alone, does not attempt to pick winners and losers, does not stifle competition and does not hand out corporate welfare.”
