Libertarian Party.

That's why he would have choice words for Rand Paul.

Carlin recognized the power of oligarchs and mega-corporations in owning government and by extension owning the people, that's a distinction which is lost on Paul.

Carlin would be against trusts and monopolies, Paul doesn't give a shit.
