As a Libertarian running for the office of ##OFFICE## I agree with all the positions defined by the Libertarian Party Platform. The issues that follow are all straight from the Official Libertarian platform.
If your religion or personal beleifs cause you to consider these things crimes thats fine. And then in your personal life you should do these things and encourage other not to do them. But its not the governments job to force these religious and personal views on society.
If I'm elected to an office that gives me the power to parden people I will issue blanket pardons for all people arrested or convicted of these victimless crimes.
If I'm elected to a job such as a Police Chief or Sheriff which enforces the laws I will order my officers to stop arresting and harrassing people for committing these victemless crimes and demand that they spend the taxpayers money on hunting down real criminals such as robbers, theives and killers.
And if I'm elected to a procesecutors office I will simply refuse to procesecute people arrested for these victem less crimes.
If elected to a Judges office I will simply drop the charges of any one appearing before me for these victemless crimes because the laws are unconstitional.
The only honest fair way for the government to collect money should be by charging User Fee's to its willing customers for the services or goods it provides. Taxes where the government taxes money from one person and gives it to another person is unfair and really theft.
Some Examples:
People who willingly choose to send their mail thru the government post office should pay the government for the services it provides. At the same time people should be free to send their mail thru any other company that can provide better or cheeper mail service then the government post office.People who willingly choose to have their children educated in government schools should pay the government for the services it provides. At the same time people should be free to have a private school educate their children if a private school can provide better or cheeper services then the government school.
People who have a government zoning inspector to verify that their new home was built safely should pay the government for the services provided. At the same time people should be free to pay a private engineering company to inspect their home if the company can do it better or cheeper the government.
reword or delete this Privates citizens who have an interest in the out come of a problem can generally solve the problem in better and less costly ways then some uncaring government buerocrat who doesn't have an interst in the out come and gets paid regardless of weather or not he solves the problem.
Taxes are nothing but theft where the govenment steals money from one person and uses the stolen money to provide services or goods to a different person. The only honest government is a government that gets it money is by charging for services it provides.
