A Libertarian Manifesto

Matt Kibbe is an American economist, author, Freedomworks President and CEO. The following 6-part set of rules is an excerpt from "Don't Hurt People and Don't Take Their Stuff": A Libertarian Manifesto. I like what he says. It makes sense. 1) Don’t hurt people: Free people just want to be left alone, not hassled or harmed by someone else with an agenda or designs over their life and property. 2) Don’t take people’s stuff: America’s founders fought to ensure property rights and our individual right to the fruits of our labors. 3) Take responsibility: Liberty takes responsibility. Don’t sit around waiting for someone else to solve your problems. 4) Work for it: For every action there is an equal reaction. Work hard and you’ll be rewarded. 5) Mind your own business: Free people live and let live. 6) Fight the power: Thanks to the Internet and the decentralization of knowledge, there are more opportunities than ever to take a stand against corrupt authority."
