Welcome
Welcome to The Pima COUNTY Libertarian Party!
You've taken the first step towards defending Liberty for all.
Fundamental Positions
As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice their values or property for the benefit of others. We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world.
When self-responsibility is NOT taken, poverty is a human's natural state . Freedom to produce and trade is the fastest and surest way out of poverty. For trade to happen, ownership rights have to be respected via law and order. Agreements and promises should be enforced. That is at the core of Capitalism. Ownership and the freedom to transact with whomever you want.
Constant poverty, other than emergencies, is usually due to a regulation preventing money from going to those who deserve it ... those who produce what is needed most to eliminate proverty.
A free market is not a market that you can do anything you want. You are free to transact wtih whomever you want as long is you are not stealing or harming another.
The Foundation of Libertarianism is Individual Freedom
The individual should be free to make his or her own choices according to his or her own desires, as long as those choices don't infringe on the rights of others.
Limited Government is a Critical Pillar of Libertarianism
The only responsibility of government is to protect the rights of its citizens. In no way should the government use its laws -- tax law, regulations on business, censorship laws -- to coerce or influence the free choices of its citizens. The only actions that should be forbidden by law are murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping and fraud.
Tolerance is Key
If I believe in the freedom to make my own life choices, then I should tolerate the free choices of others, as long as they do me no harm.
Freedom is Central to Economics
A limited government should not interfere with or attempt to influence the economy. The government should never provide subsidies or bailouts to artificially prop up certain industries, like agriculture, banks, or the auto industry. Instead, free choice and fair competition should reign. If businesses compete on a level playing field, and consumers are allowed to freely choose among them, then the free market will dictate fair prices and fair wages.
Personal Responsibility
You are responsible for your personal choices, able to take care of yourself and capable to do for others as you expect them to do unto you. Conversely, others are free to live their lives as they see fit and are responsible for their choices. We believe in tolerance toward others and respect for self-sovereignty.
