The Economy
Libertarians believe that all people have the right to freely offer goods and services on the market and that free-market approaches are the most effective at improving people’s lives.
Civil Liberties
Libertarians believe that the equal rights of all people matter all the time. No exceptions.
Crime and Justice
Libertarians believe that the existing justice system is seriously flawed.
Education
Libertarians advocate for a free market in education in which parents, teachers, and students, not the government, would make their own choices.
Foreign Policy
Libertarians seek a United States at peace with the world.
Healthcare
Libertarians believe that healthcare prices would decrease and quality and availability would increase if healthcare was freed from government meddling and control.
Gun Ownership
Libertarians believe that every person has the right to arm themselves in self-defense. (Spike Cohen on Biden's push for gun control)
War on Drugs
Libertarians believe that the War on Drugs is ineffective, unfair, and immoral. We advocate ending it.
Immigration
Libertarians believe that if someone is peaceful, they should be welcome to immigrate to the United States.
Retirement and Income Security
Retirement planning is the responsibility of the individual, not the government. Libertarians would phase out the current government-sponsored Social Security system and transition to a private voluntary system. The proper and most effective source of help for the poor is the voluntary efforts of private groups and individuals. We believe members of society will become even more charitable and civil society will be strengthened as government reduces its activity in this realm.
