Another day, another Gary Johnson interview in which he completely contradicts core libertarian principles. This time, Johnson endorsed a carbon tax as a “free market solution” to human-caused climate change. He also said that he didn’t want to sacrifice jobs to reduce human impact on the environment. First, he ignores the basic economic reality that additional tax burdens on the private sector will reduce available jobs. Second, he falls in line with the economic illiterates that believe that a carbon tax is a free market solution to climate change. It is an insult to actual free market solutions to call a tax to control behavior a free market solution. Johnson has compromised core libertarian principles time and time again to pander to potential voters, usually voters on the left. I believe he is doing more harm than good to the future of the libertarian movement in this country. We will eventually look back on his campaign as a fantastic example of what not to do to make an impact as a third party.
