"The next time somebody says that the government is forced to intervene in the economy to protect the poor, ask why the government is forcing taxpayers to subsidize municipal golf courses, the ballet, opera and -- the biggest subsidy of all -- surrounding affluent communities with vast amounts of expensive "open space."" --Thomas Sowell

From the Libertarian Party of Texas Platform:
"As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their lives, and no individuals are forced to sacrifice their values for the benefit of others. We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be eliminated from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized. Consequently, we defend each person's right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest. The following pages set forth our basic principles and some of the policies derived from them. Our goal, however, is nothing more nor less than a world set free in our lifetime, and it is to this end that we take these stands."
Additionaly, please view the executive summaryof the National Libertarian Party Platform for futher platform planks.
"Libertarians don't fit comfortably into the "left-right" political spectrum. David Nolan, founder of the Libertarian Party, devised the "Nolan Chart" to better explain the political spectrum in terms of individual freedom.
