Tom Schmitz

Where Schmitz stands

Health care

Republicans and Democrats agree that government should have all-encompassing authoritarian control over our healthcare system including a massive regulatory apparatus, the FDA, medicare, medicaid, endless subsidies, and ever-expanding control over health insurance companies.

Education

Republicans and Democrats both agree that we should have ubiquitous government schools, that government should be heavily involved in primary education, secondary education, and universities, and that American citizens should be financially responsible for the education of other people's children.

Veterans & national defense

Republicans and Democrats agree that we should have a massive military industrial complex that costs hundreds of billions of dollars a year, military bases with troops stationed all over the world, interventionism, bombings, killings all over the world, protectionist tariffs, and billions in foreign aid sent to countries and wars all over the world.

Veterans & national defense

Libertarians want a foreign policy of peace and free trade, an end to all military interventionism, wars, bombings, and killings all over the world. Libertarians want to bring all troops home and have an efficient, defensive military stationed here in our country, and want to eliminate all foreign aid to all countries across the board.
