There’s a perception among certain elected officials that pro-free market, pro-liberty candidates (and their supporters) are crazy. Or “whack-a-doodles,” according to the popular derogatory term.
This stereotype is part of a broader ad hominem effort on the part of establishment media to impugn the sensible fiscal policies being advanced by these candidates (you know … crazy ideas like cutting taxes, eliminating unnecessary government and balancing the federal budget).
Anyway, one of the few free market champions in Washington, D.C. is U.S. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan). Amash previously made our radar with his impassioned defense of individual liberty during the height of the ongoing domestic spying scandal. Since then he’s continued to impress.
