It gets even weirder if you go back to early 2008 because you get a very specific type of person that only existed in that year and that was the obama stans that also thought ron paul was good

    He was about as free market as they come and I would be very interested in seeing evidence that he wanted to heavily tax anyone. I seem to recall him pledging to reduce the corporate tax rate.

    He was good when it came to wanting to reign in empire. His anti corporate rhetoric was in the vein of like "oh that's not real capitalism it's corporatism" and he saw the rise of mega corporations as a result of the government meddling in markets

      It's been a really long time, I could easily have my facts wrong. I remember liking him, but while I had anarchist tendencies then I had no clear philosophy. He at least seemed like he would have been less of a war criminal then any of our modern presidents.
