Today the Libertarian Party called foul on stealing money from American citizens in order to finance the partisan interests of political parties:
In light of a surprising new poll showing that 62 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer-funded conventions, Libertarians say the Democratic Party should immediately reimburse taxpayers for the $40 million cost of staging their Boston event.
"Let's hope the American people love this convention, because they paid for it," says Libertarian Party National Chair Mike Dixon. "There's something terribly wrong when two rich guys running for office can force ordinary Americans to pay for their televised advertising campaign.
And they'll say the same thing about the Big Government Conservatism Convention starting August 30 in New York.
