Democrats and Republican be warned! There is a new political idea floating around out there or maybe its an old one and I'm just now hearing about it. But I tell you what, if it catches on, it will change everything for the better and get us back to a government by for and of the people.
NEO-LIBERTARIAN
James Leroy Wilson wrote an amazing article that sums up the idea of what it is to be a Neo-libertarian. Essentially, a neo-libertarian is a “moderate” who leans toward greater personal freedom (especially when it comes to sex) and greater economic freedom (less government taxing and spending, fewer regulations).
I couldn't agree more. I want the federal government to stay out of my life, stick to what it was intended to do pass laws that the people agree upon, collect taxes, protect us from our enemies foreign and domestic, and help conduct trade abroad. That's it! Everything else should be handled at the state and local level by those in the know.
That's why I feel that Neo-libertarism is so right for this country right now. It may not be THE future of American politics but what's going on now just isn't working and we need a change.
Wilson also says "As such, a Neo-libertarian has a lot in common with the mainstream of the American people, who generally want people to be free - as they understand freedom - yet also still believe that government can play a positive role in the economic and educational well-being of the people, and to be a force for good in the causes of international peace and human rights."
