On policy, Chase's website campaign platform shows that he wants to stick with government central planning.
https://www.votechaseoliver.com/platforme.g. on immigration:
"Collaborate with Congress to return to an Ellis Island style of processing immigrants. It should be simple for those who wish to come here to work and build a better life to appear before immigration officials at an accredited port of entry, be given medical and criminal checks to assess their safety and receive a visa allowing them to immediately find employment."
"Immigration officials"? (Government immigration officials, I assume.) Immigrants "be given medical and criminal checks..." (Medical checks by whom? The government?)
I thought libertarians wanted to ditch the central planners and have a free society, no?
Meanwhile, on Jacob Hornberger's campaign website
https://www.jacobforliberty.com/positions/, he states: "Abolish the Border Patrol and ICE and all controls on the free movements of people across borders." Not hard.
And also on Chase's website regarding immigration: "Create a simpler path to citizenship for immigrants who are already here." And who would create that simpler path? Government bureaucrats?
And you can say what you want about "citizenship," but that's a concept of "belonging to the government, or to the rulers," in my opinion. The late Carl Watner had this terrific essay on citizenship:
http://voluntaryist.com/forthcoming/citizen.html#.WuxR4HIh31yChase also says: "Create a path to citizenship for both DACA-eligible residents and the children of foreign workers admitted to the US on temporary work visas. These immigrants often lose their legal status upon turning 21, robbing us of individuals educated here in America with something to offer our society."
Central planning on steroids much, Chase?
He does promote some good policies.
However, on the economy, he does promote deregulation and repealing tariffs, but he says nothing about the income tax, and repealing it! Not a word about it!
The income tax is a scheme of theft perpetrated by the rulers, in which workers must report their private information and involuntarily fork over a certain part of their earnings to the government.
Without the income tax (and other forms of confiscatory thefts by the regime), all the government's horrible tyrannical impositions, intrusions and redistributions could not take place because no one in his right mind would voluntarily pay for them!
Shame on Chase Oliver for not even mentioning the income tax!
