On the Issues
-
Monetary Policy - Reign in the power of the Federal Reserve and return it to the market. The manipulation of interest rates only destabilizes the economy and results in greater and greater wealth disparity over time. We are seeing today not only the economic cost but the division amongst each other that comes along with it. [>>Read more]

-
Economy - A centrally planned economy is not by any stretch of the imagination a capitalist free enterprise system. Eliminate the restrictions and subsidies that result in the government picking winners and losers and allow the market to operate amidst the natural forces of supply and demand.
​
-
Taxes - The laundry list of taxes only further distorts the economy. However, in our system of debt-based fiat currency, government spending is the actual tax. Tax and spend is little different than borrow and spend, so tax policy is essentially a smoke screen. The Federal government continues to overspend regardless of the revenues taken in. But higher revenues only empower them to spend even more. This is why any tax increase of any kind must be fought.
​
-
Immigration - Freedom is a beacon that attracts the best and brightest. It is the welfare state that strains the resources of a nation, and a precarious foreign policy that creates threats who aim to infiltrate and attack from within. In a truly free society, human beings are assets, but in a welfare state they are liabilities. We must address the real problem rather than placing additional restrictions on our fellow human beings, particularly those seeking Liberty and peace.
​
-
Education - Eliminate the topdown approach to education which treats millions of young Americans as cattle instead of as unique individuals, and teachers as machines instead of as professionals. Institutions should not be dictated to nor bribed to adhere to centrally planned education from hundreds of miles away. [>>Read More]

-
Marriage - There is absolutely no reason for the government to restrict or even regulate the relationships between consenting adults. Get the government completely out of marriage!
​
-
Abortion - This is a contentious issue. But life is a human right, and I am yet to be presented with a rational case for why a child does not have this inalienable human right simply because it is trapped in the womb. Although the general question is not a Federal issue per the Constitution, Congress should confine itself to powers explicitly stated in Article I, Section 8, and refrain from funding any outside organizations.
​
-
Drugs - The war on drugs has failed, just as the eighteenth amendment did. Actions which produce no victims are not crimes, and criminals are made by laws against such actions. Too many lives have been ruined by non-violent behavior being punished by arbitrary edicts.
​
-
Defense - The United States has no right to police the world, and our attempts to do so have only further destabilized troubled areas. Our coffers are drained by our interminable militarism, supporting bases and troop deployments across the globe, even where no conflict exists. And where it does exist, we risk the lives of American soldiers often despite no actual threats to American freedoms, and recklessly expend colossal amounts of taxpayer-purchased hardware.
