Series note: This is one story of a two-part series about third party candidates running for Pa. governor.
There may be more than just two names on the gubernatorial ballot this fall.
Ken Krawchuk secured the Libertarian Partys nomination for governor in February and is running on a platform that emphasizes lower taxes, smaller government, protecting citizens and improving education.
I have a vision for Pennsylvania, Krawchuk said.
One issue Krawchuk, who also ran for governor as a libertarian in 1998 and 2002, would address is taxes and the cost of government. If elected, Krawchuk said he would use powers granted to the governor to act unilaterally. He would veto any tax increase and use the line-item veto to eliminate needless spending.
Introducing a series of budgets that would eliminate Pennsylvanias personal income tax is another step Krawchuk said he would take as governor.
If elected, another goal of his is to make Pennsylvanias streets safer. To achieve this, Krawchuk said he would implement two actions as soon as becoming governor.
The governor has power over paroles, Krawchuk said, and he would eliminate parole for violent criminals.
To reduce prison populations, Krawchuk said he would also pardon every nonviolent drug offender in the state.
The prisons are full and its so crowded, they are releasing rapists and murderers to make room for pot-smoking Grateful Dead fans, Krawchuk said.

Libertarian candidates platform consists of lower taxes, smaller government

Libertarian ideology favors privatization. However, in practice privatization is usually very different in result than libertarian ideology postulates. Almost always, privatization becomes a way for well-connected private interests to loot both the public purse and the general welfare.
Most privatizations, such as those that have occurred in France and UK during the neoliberal era, and in Greece today and Ukraine tomorrow, are lootings of public assets by politically-connected private interests.
Another form of privatization is to turn traditional government functions, such as prison operation and many supply functions of the armed services, such as feeding the troops, over to private companies at a large increase in cost to the public. Essentially, the libertarian ideology is used to provide lucrative public contracts to a few favored persons who then reward the politicians. This is called "free enterprise."
The privatization of prisons in the US is an example of the extraordinary cost and injustice of privatization. Privatization of prisons requires ever higher rates of incarceration in order to build profitability. The US, supposedly "a land of liberty" has by far the highest incarceration rates of all countries. The "free" US has not only the highest percentage of its population in prison but also the highest absolute number. "Authoritarian" China with four times the US population has fewer citizens in prison.
This article shows how well prison privatization works for well-connected private interests: http://www.globalresearch.ca/privatization-of-the-us-prison-system/5377824
It also shows the extraordinary shame, corruption, and discredit that prison privatization has brought to the US.
A few years ago I wrote about the conviction of two judges who were paid by privatized juvenile detention facilities to sentence kids to their facilities.
As Alain of Lille and later Karl Marx said, "Money is all." In America money is all that is important to the political system and to the bulk of the population. Essentially, America has no other values.
