I read this recently and was wondering if it was true:

The Libertarian Party is a sham and a deceit. It had only ONE original purpose and that purpose is outlined clearly in the party's platform.

"2.9 Licensing

Libertarians support the right of every person to earn an honest and peaceful living through the free and voluntary exchange of goods and services. Accordingly, we oppose occupational and other licensing laws that infringe on this right or treat it as a state-granted privilege. We encourage certifications by voluntary associations of professionals."

The ENTIRE original purpose of the Libertarian Party was to get rid of professional licensing associations. This is because Ron Paul struggled to pass his boards as an OB/GYN and was forced to join the USAF where he could practice for a time without passing his specialty boards. Rand Paul was even worse. He was completely unable to pass his ophthalmology board (ABO) re-certification. He ended up founding his own association, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), where he was grandfathered in for a lifetime certification.
