Wikinews held an exclusive interview with James Burns, one of the candidates for the Libertarian Party nomination for the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
Burns, the former chairman of the Nevada Libertarian Party, was asked if he thinks he has a good shot at winning the Libertarian nomination and ultimately the presidency. He replied, "My chances of winning are not all in my hands. I shall do my best, but it comes down to what others will do. What will you do?"
When asked about America's shrinking middle class he said, "The economic policies of the US government are the cause our troubles. When I am President, the only economic policy I shall pursue is to be frugal with the funds of the United States."
Burns believes that the President "is not 'the leader of the free world,' rather....a person who attempts to protect our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
((WN)) : Why do you want to run for president?
((WN)) : If elected, how would you handle the illegal immigration crisis?
((WN)) : How would you help the shrinking middle class?
((WN)) : Do you think you have a good shot at winning the Libertarian nomination? If so, do you think you could be in the White House this time next year?
((WN)) : There are thousands reading this right now. What could you say to convince them to give you their vote?
