Show Summary: Why are more people leaving New York than any other region in the country? New York used to represent innovation, growth, and opportunity. Now it’s just a big tax burden with nothing to show for it. This week Larry Sharpe joins us on the show! Larry discusses his political strategy and what he wants to implement as governor of New York. Larry Sharpe is one of the rising stars of the Libertarian Party, and has as of late October raised $449,515 for his campaign! If Sharpe receives 50,000 votes—or 1.3 percent of the 2014 electorate, then the Libertarian Party will gain automatic ballot access in New York for the first time in its history!

About The Host: Johnny “Rocket” Adams was the creator and host of “The Johnny Rocket Launch Pad – Libertarian Rock n’ Roll Experience” and now “BLAST OFF with Johnny Rocket!” He’s also a musician, graphic artist, author, and former Chief Warrant Officer. Johnny spent his early days earning his stripes as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army. Back stateside, Johnny immersed himself in the classic works of Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt, and Ludwig von Mises. From there the AnCap known as “Johnny Rocket” was born. Speaking truth to power from your cell phone tower, Johnny digests the philosophy of liberty and brings them to the man on the street on a weekly basis. Johnny Rocket was also the front-man of the rockabilly group “Hot Roddin’ Romeos” and puts pencil to paper with the critically acclaimed comic series “The Liberty Force.” New York Times best-selling author and podcast host Tom Woods calls Johnny Rocket “one of the most entertaining figures in the liberty movement.”
