    What this site's about

    This site is about libertarian ideas, politics, economics, government, freedom, property rights, entrepreneurship, innovation, objectivty and other such stuff important to humans. I uphold libertarian principles and believe wholeheartedly in minimal government, or no government if it would work -- this blog explains why.

    Go, Mia, Go

    Issues


       

    Fiscal Discipline

     

    Smaller Government

     

    Personal Responsibility

    Washington does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. Balancing the budget is only part of the solution. We must cut federal spending to begin to restore America’s economic strength and citizen liberties.

     

    The United States of America is a federal republic of 50 sovereign states. The federal government must be confined to the enumerated powers granted by the Constitution.


     

    American society must return to valuing and rewarding hard work, independence and personal responsibility. Government dependency on entitlement programs and welfare is a failure.

       

    Jobs

     

    Tax Reform

     

    Energy

    Government does not create jobs, the private sector does. Government simply needs to get out of the way.

     

    Our taxation system must be made more fair, more simple and more transparent.

     

    Explore and develop fossil fuel sources responsibly to provide energy and jobs Utah needs, continue to explore alternative energy sources.

       

    Military

     

    Illegal Immigration

     

    Social Security

    Equip our armed forces, and engage only when there is a defined national security objective and with the consent of Congress, not the United Nations.

     

    Protect our borders and remove the magnets. Only after we have plugged the hole in the boat can we begin to deal with the water in it.

     

    We must keep the promises made to our seniors to provide for their retirement while we move aggressively to more solvent alternatives.

       

    Healthcare

     

    Education

     

    Regulation

    Government mandated health care goes against free market principles and personal liberties. The more socialized our health care becomes, the fewer choices people have.

     

    Local control is paramount in education. The federal government has proven it cannot produce outcomes better than local decision makers.

     

    Excessive government regulation is stifling business growth, profits and innovation, which negatively impacts jobs. We must reign in some regulatory agencies and eliminate others.

       

    Religious Freedom

     

    Lands

     

    2nd amendment

    For far too long we have been nudged from religious freedoms that formed underpinnings of our great nation to religious oppression. We cannot allow this fundamental liberty to continue to be trampled.

     

    The federal government has too much control over Utah's public lands. We must take action to reasonably and responsibly access this land for recreation, jobs, energy and public education funding.

     

    Our right to bear arms is fundamental to American liberty and must not be infringed.

     

    What's there not to like? I support Mia Love, even though this Mormon thang's a little weird -- the Mormons are producing political clout.
