Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

1.The libertarian stance on drugs is that the purchase and use of drugs are consentual actions and therefore should not be prohibited by the government as this only leads to the creation and strength of gangs and crime syndicates.
2.The libertarian party is still for some forms of taxation such as excize taxes, but only to the extent that it would allow the government to execute its constitutional obligations. It does also support limited state funding for such endevours as the creation and maintainance of infrastructure.
3.Very numerous, but for me there is one Ideal behind all of it; The states reason for being is the prevention of non consentual action.
