Gary Johnson Does Not Embrace Millennials' Interests

Aside from the legalization of marijuana, the Libertarian Party candidate opposes nearly everything young voters care about.

Johnson supports the legalization of marijuana—way cool. Less cool is his position on climate change. Although he acknowledges that it is both real and at least partly man-made, he believes government should take no action against it, leaving the solution, in the classic libertarian manner, to the market and the private sector.

As if it weren’t the private sector, in response to the market’s incentives, that created global warming in the first place.

Then there’s Johnson’s position on what government can do to make college more affordable and enable students to matriculate without piling up mountains of debt. Or, more accurately, the absence of a position. He doesn’t have one, since the very idea of such government interference runs counter to the libertarian creed.

Or consider Johnson’s tax plan, which calls for eliminating the income tax and subs uting a national sales tax—a massive shift of the tax burden away from the wealthy to the 90 percent, a group that includes the overwhelming majority of 20-somethings.
