A short summary of my view of Libertarianism:

I believe that government should make no law that interferes with individual rights or behavior so long as no one is harmed by it. However, I don’t want to pay for your lifestyle so tax payers should never have to subsidize behavior of any group nor should they be forced to pay for “programs” that take away the consequences of stupid behavior.

The government should not be in the business of redistribution of wealth, which the graduated income tax does.

I believe that government is too big, too intrusive and relied upon entirely too much by our people.

I believe that the majority of problems that our government is attempting to solve with government programs were actually first created by other government programs.

I believe that programs like welfare and other entitlements promote dependence and destroy individual liberty and freedom for generations upon generations.

I believe that the “entitlement attitude” is a cancer that is killing our nation.

I believe “The government that governs least, governs best“.

Truly summing it up I believe that when Oliver Wendell Holmes stated, “The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins“; he had it dead on! If we simply made this the guiding concept of our governing we would all be much better off.
