Slash spending and eliminate all unneeded taxes.
Tariffs were initially pitched to reduce or eliminate income taxes, specifically for people making under $200k a year. Now, even Fox News is saying tariffs hurt the economy. And by the way, we still have an income tax. Reduce spending. Reduce taxes. It’s not complicated.

Stop taking our money ( almost worthless) and SLASH spending. Follow the Constitution.
If the government has $5,000 of my money lying around, I’d rather they stop taking it in the first place.

When the government and the media report GDP growth, they always annualize the quarterly number. So 0.5% growth during a quarter is reported as 2% annualized growth. If they did the same thing with inflation, the 0.6% rise in Sept. would be reported as 7.4% annualized inflation.

The Department of Education should be abolished immediately if there is a chance the communists are going to take over.

We’d be substantially better off as a society if we just had a movement to abolish the socialism for the rich.

Repealing the income tax is better than giving out $5,000 checks

I wish most American voters looked at it this way.
Keep voting for the "lesser of two evils." Act shocked when it wins. Repeat. 🇺🇸 America on loop.

When the Fed was born in 1913, the big banks warned that without it we would have nonstop inflation, wildcat banking, bank failures, and endless business cycles. When the Biologics Control Act of 1902 was passed, pharma warned that without it we would have mass injury from vaccines and rogue poison pushers. When the Meat Packing Act of 1906 was passed, the corporate meat packers warned that without it, we would all be eating rancid meat and die. When AI came to be regulated by government, the top players in the industry warned that without this oversight....see the pattern?

Libertarians, and anarchists, who refuse to engage political power do not weaken the state. They surrender the field to people who are perfectly happy to use that power against them. Govt already taxes us, regulates us, licenses us, surveils us, restricts our choices, and threatens force when we refuse to comply. Pretending that machinery does not exist is not principled resistance. It is unilateral disarmament. We organize because our opponents organize. We run candidates because politicians write the laws. We fight for committee seats because political parties control access and institutions. We use govt authority when necessary to restrain, repeal, decentralize, and dismantle govt authority. Yes, the goal may ultimately be eliminating taxation and replacing coercive govt with voluntary institutions. That does not require pretending we already live in that world now. Nobody wins a fight by throwing away every available tool while the other side keeps theirs. Power exists. The question is whether people who want less of it are willing to organize strongly enough to take it away from those who want more.
