So What Do I Stand For, You Ask?

A very brief overview of what I stand for:
  • Free markets
  • Capitalism
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Economic competition
  • Civil liberties
  • Methodological individualism
  • Marginalism
  • laissez-faire
  • Personal freedoms 
  • Freedom of choice
  • Freedom of expression
  • Free trade
  • Completely privatized educational system with a "voucher"-type program and the localization thereof
  • Parental control of and responsibility for all funds expended for their children's education
  • Property rights
  • Free-market, privatized banking
  • More social and economic freedom
  • Fiscal conservatism
  • Abolition of minimum wage laws or at least the lowering thereof
  • Abolition of the current Social Security and Medicare systems in favor of voluntary, privatized systems, or at least the ability to opt out of these tax-financed systems.
  • Abolition of tax-financed subsidization of political candidates or political parties
  • Abolition of our "welfare state"
  • Auditing of the Fed and SEC
  • Privatized "charity" and "welfare" institutions
  • Privatization of all "public" works and goods
  • Smaller government - limited government intervention
  • Governmental protection of individual rights, liberties, and property
  • Governmental adjudication of legal disputes
  • Governmental provision and protection of a legal framework upon which the free market rests
  • Governmental control over the immigration of those who could potentially threaten or infringe upon health, security, or property
  • Voluntary assumption of personal risk
  • Virtually no governmental subsidization of any business, labor, or interest group
  • Free-market-governed industry
  • Free-market-governed health care
  • Political antitrust laws
  • Individual responsibility of retirement planning and income security
  • No governmental interference or arbitration in the labor market
  • Less concentration of power
  • True, representative democracy
  • Right to bear arms
  • No ridiculous import tariffs or quotas
  • No ridiculous inflationary monetary policies
  • No ridiculous "entitlements"
  • No ridiculous "bailouts"
  • No war on drugs, in favor of the potential subsidization of drug education as opposed to imprisonment
  • Adherence to the original Bill of Rights
  • Adherence to the original Constitution
  • No limitation, suppression, or misinterpretation of the original Constitution 
  • Bring all our troops home
  • Limited or no international interventionism without an invitation/request
  • Get government out of our wallets
  • Less taxes and a simpler tax code
  • Abolition of our ridiculous income tax system to be replaced by a simple national sales tax.

You will notice that many of these reflect Libertarianism, with some minor differences, which is why, even though I dislike labels, I consider myself a Liberty Republican (Republitarian).


Best,
Tyler
