association possibility produce
Voluntary association produces the free market - where each person can choose among a multitude of possibilities.
government once-upon-a-time liberty
Once upon a time, government budgets were balanced, our money was sound, the streets were safe, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income.
giving want being-the-best
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.
government ideas liberty
Our government, taxes, and ideas of freedom are already duplicates of the Old World. Our politicians determine how we should live our lives - and our individual liberties are sacrificed for the benefit of the Fatherland.
inspirational encouragement leaving
Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.
thinking government liberty
Can you think of a single area of government in which George Bush hasn't already made things worse than Bill Clinton did?
meaningful people giving
When people do things for you, it's because they want to - because you, in some way, give them something meaningful that makes them want to please you, not because anyone owes you anything.
temptation promise trying
I have no temptation to vote, to campaign, to try and stop a candidate who promises new follies.
war men years
If the Fed had a war on abortion like its war on poverty or war on drugs, within five years men would be having abortions!
perfection people empathy
Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympathy for less fortunate people. But they know you can't have perfection in a world of limited resources.
feels persons
Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.
america world force
America rules the world - by force.
fighting government liberty
The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm.
wisdom special answers
There's nothing shameful in acknowledging that you don't have the answers to every question about life. Just accept the fact that you know only a fraction of what's going on in the world. You don't have to attach explanations in terms of a special revelation of God's will, a glimpse at the supernatural, evidence of a conspiracy, or anything else.
