A Program of the Libertarian Party of Santa Clara County
How Will You Be Better Off With a Libertarian Government?
MUCH BETTER ECONOMY - you, your family, friends and
society will have a more optimistic outlook
More free choice goods and services that you and others value enough to buy
Less government activities interfering with the private sector
With less government, less waste and more productivity, resulting in higher pay scales
MORE JOBS - You'll have more jobs to choose from at all
levels
No minimum wage means more manufacturing stays in U.S.
More entry-level jobs
Unskilled labor will have shortage, driving rates up naturally
More manufacturing in U.S. will keep more skilled mfg jobs here
Unrestricted trade will increase foreign related jobs for Americans
MORE PAY AND CHANCE TO IMPROVE - You'll have no
more tax accounting hassles and much higher take home pay
and discretionary income
No more income and FICA taxes to worry about and to pay
Whatever tax will be used to cover essential functions like military and courts, and
police - maybe a sales tax or tariffs - will be much smaller and cause much less
trouble for you and other citizens than the income tax
Higher pay from higher productivity and more jobs competing for your services
More discretionery income is the key to climbing out of the middle class
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - There'll be no more unequal
treatment of you by the government or mandated by it
No more laws or regulations favoring one race or nationality over yours
No more unequal taxing of you if you are more successful than others
Elimination of having to state your race for the census or other government forms
You get utilities like water, gas, and electricity based on the free market instead of
political whining and wrangling
FULL PROPERTY RIGHTS - You'll have full rights to control
and protect your property as you choose
You the owner decide if people can smoke on your premises
You the owner decide if people engage in victimless practices on your premises
You the business owner decide who you will and won't employ
You the home owner decide what is proper taste in remodeling your home
You the car owner decide if you want to drive and pay for a gas guzzler
You the owner decide if you want to harbor spotted owls on your property
Your property owners group decide criteria to enter your property including private
roads
You can gamble your money and property as much as you like
FULL PERSONAL RIGHTS - You'll have full rights to control,
protect, or put at risk, your body as you choose
Your right to bear arms under the 2nd amendment to the constitution will be honored
With adequate warning to get off or stay off your property, you can use force with
impunity
You can gamble your safety as much as you like if others aren't placed at risk
You can imbibe, ingest, or inhale what you wish, with responsibility for the results
You can give birth or not without government interference
You can smoke on the premises of any private property if the owner permits it
WILDERNESS PRESERVATION - You'll be able to visit and
see a much better kept and maintained wilderness
Disneyland is better maintained than any national park; so will be parks under private
ownership
Private owners lose if they destroy their property, so they don't; Not so bureaucratic
managers like those who control government owned forest land
