@3, Both Stein and Anderson call for high taxation. Taxation is theft. Governments collect taxes under threat of force (violence).
If I refuse to pay my taxes do you think Stein and Anderson will let me ride the wave or will they use violence like Obama or Bush or Clinton…
Care to try parroting the weak counter-arguments that the neo-leftists usually try to respond with? Or is the fact that it’s not an entirely original insight in itself enough for you to dismiss it out of hand?

Congrats, you just successfully parroted the textbook argument that libertarians use when talking to or critiquing the left wing!
Props to Hedges for adopting a principled position.
Hedges always provides great analysis and information. It is interesting, however, that despite his stand against Obama he still takes a moment to stump for Rocky Anderson and Jill Stein in this video. He still wants a government run on the principle of force. If it comes with a smile it is still force. Unsettling but I still have some respect for the guy taking a stand against the tyrants in DC.
