Holy Crap! Gary Johnson FLIPS OUT over tax policy question! He looks nuts here! (video)

He flips out several times but the most intense part is around the 5:20 mark when asked about his insane tax policy ideas.

Aside from, perhaps, Willie Nelson or James Franco.

I am told he was a governor once, as well.

He's no less angry and unglued than a certain orange skinned psychopath.

. . . The consumption tax is something that the middle/working/poor will lose and lose BIG on. They spend a greater proportion of their take-home pay vs their cost of living than the wealthy do. Economists worldwide know that the 23% number the LoLibertarian Party cites is going to result in massive shortfalls. The number would have to be more like 30-34% and it's NOT going to be "revenue neutral".

It's simply amazing that anyone making under $300,000 per year even thinks this is a great idea. You're essentially giving the wealthy a tax-free life on the middle/working/poor's backs.
