The mainstream proposals are toxic. We've seen their impact and it isn't pretty. Both parties, despite their rhetoric, promote growing the size of government and minimizing the size of individual liberty and personal responsibility.
"The Republicans say they want “limited government.” Limited to what? A $3.8 trillion federal budget? A nearly $5 trillion budget?
Look at the Republican budget plan crafted by Congressman Ryan. That’s what Democrats and Republicans are planning to raise spending to over the next 10 years. “Limited?”
Democratic and Republican politicians are planning to raise the debt from today’s $16-and-a-half trillion — to over $20 trillion dollars. “Limited?”
How high does government spending and debt have to be before Democratic and Republican politicians say it’s too much? Will they spend until the economy literally collapses — while workers struggle year after year to find decent jobs?
While retirees are trapped in poverty? And the middle class disappears?
When politicians talk about “limited government,” it’s their way of covering up the fact that they refuse to cut government spending — and that they continually raise spending.
The Libertarian Party says: Stop over-spending. Stop borrowing. Never raise the debt ceiling. Balance the budget — not in 10 years. Now. Just like families and businesses must do every day.
Then keep cutting — until we have a small, constitutional government that is truly limited to protecting our lives, liberty and property — and no more.
Less money for politicians — and more in the productive, private sector — is good for the economy. American workers and taxpayers will have more jobs, higher take-home pay and more savings.
Big Government Democrats and Republicans will try to scare you into believing they’d have to cut essential services. That’s a lie. They’re spending double what Democratic President Bill Clinton spent in the year 2000.
They claim that if they cut spending we’ll have fewer jobs. Another lie. Cutting government spending will create jobs. For every government worker who may get laid off, it will create two jobs in the private sector. Cutting government spending will result in a huge net jobs gain. Plenty of jobs for everyone who’s willing to work.
Big Government Democrats and Republicans will keep spending recklessly, raising your taxes, assaulting your liberties and raising government debt — as long as you let them get away with it.
What can you do to stop them?"
The answer is easy.......Vote for REAL change. Vote Libertarian!
