WOULD YOU LIKE LESS GOVERNMENT?

By mbba

If you would like less government interference and control (especially federal,) become a Libertarian, a middle ground position that avoids the excesses of extreme liberals and conservatives.

“Libertarian is NOT anarchist. It is for a MINIMUM amount of government. Insofar as FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is concerned it “pretty much means restoring the CONSTITUTION TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM,” or at least to the way it was before 1913, the year the federal income tax was put into effect. Without the income tax, and then later axed protections, primarily by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Warren years of the Supreme Court, the federal government would not be involved in interstate commerce, education, local residency provisions, etc. etc. etc!

I must make one comment here. I am thankful that racial equality was assisted by the Warren Court’s actions. It is just SAD that to achieve this, it was necessary to INTRUDE into States’ Rights, the excuse for all of the bad things resulting from this action.

Should this interest you, I highly recommend your becoming familiar with the REASON FOUNDATION, and REASON MAGAZINE which I have supported within the limits of my financial condition for about 30 years.

REASON advances a free society by developing, applying, and promoting libertarian principles, including individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law.

One of its primary goals is the privatization of activities now performed by government agencies.

Not wanting to dwell on this, please look at www.reason.org on the internet, which gets about two million hits a month.

Being curious about the size of the libertarian movement, I looked up Libertarianisn.com on the internet and was gratified to find about 80 organizations listed ending in “Advocates for Self-Government,” which provided a test to show where the testee belongs in the political system. It did agree that I am a libertarian!

Related to this subject is the extremely liberal bias of our educational system. If anyone is interested in a college NOT infected by anti capitalists, I recommend George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, motto “Freedom and Learning.”
