[Lnc-business] The Lament of the Not Rich Enough

Among the 'not rich enough' I wonder if there are any who care about ideas
and who lean libertarian.  I also wonder if there are any who would want
influence in a municipality or state.

Of course, we can't sell influence.  But we can sell freedom - in
particular, we can sell the freedom to compete through cutting back
regulations.  Many municipalities and states have granted special
privileges to certain businesses - competitors in those industries may well
desire a relaxation of those privileges, and it seems to me that such an
understanding would be perfectly acceptable to a Libertarian, so long as it
is understood by all that all the candidate will do is roll back
regulations - not create an opening for "Left Out Business B to Compete
with Established Firm A Without Worrying About Left Out Business C."  So
long as the Libertarian will open the market so that B can compete with A
and C, on an equal footing and without government privilege, that may well
be of interest to these donors and to Libertarians.

I would suggest that this board make it a priority to look into these
left-out bundlers, identify any who may be of interest, and have trained
board members or staff approach them.
