Voters keep getting told to “pick a side,” but the ballot belongs to you, not party insiders. We open with a simple challenge: reason together, stop shouting, and let candidates speak in their own words. That’s why we sit down with John Thomas, the Libertarian candidate for lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania, to hear a full-strength argument for free markets, personal choice, and cutting government control where it doesn’t belong.

We start with Austrian economics and the core idea of subjective value, then move into one of the biggest fights in Pennsylvania politics: education funding. John lays out a bold school choice plan built around sending roughly $11,000 per student in state funds directly to families, expanding competition, and reducing the grip of government-run systems. From there, we get into property tax reform and why school taxes and property taxes hit working families and retirees so hard.

Then we turn to the economy you can’t build without: energy. We talk Pennsylvania natural gas, power-plant shutdowns, overregulation, and why energy production could decide where the next generation of jobs lands, especially with AI and data centers demanding more electricity. We also vent about fuel taxes, tolls, and why the roads still feel like a mess.

If you care about Pennsylvania elections, school choice, lower property taxes, and energy policy, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a wider view, and leave a review with what you agreed or disagreed with most.
