“I’ve always hated the small government mentality— that whole, not being concerned for the welfare of the citizen, but then I heard about Ron Paul,” Max Isaacs said.
Born in South Korea, 19-year-old Max was adopted by an American couple as a five-month-old. He grew up in Goshen, New York, and attended New Paltz for one semester before transferring to Purchase College. It was during his fall semester at Paltz that his ideals— or at least the way they manifested themselves— changed.
“I was at a meeting for Sensible Drug Policy and I started talking to this student. We both hated bureaucracy. We also agreed that the only way to reform government is to limit it. It’s reached an unsustainable point,” he began. “This country’s a billion dollars in debt because of a war we shouldn’t even be fighting, the dollar’s weak, our social security plan’s not working and we owe China so much money,” he continued. “We need to reevaluate our approach to government.”
