Government Just Wants To Control You

Today’s government doesn’t doesn’t want to do anything but control your future and to secure their voter’s base. Democrats as well as Republicans are in a power struggle with the American people caught in the middle. Either way you look at it, both parties want to control your life.

Over the last 80 years, government has grown too big. From Social Security to the financial bailouts, the government has gotten involved in things that they should never have been. In the process, this country has lost it’s way. Too many of the people have become dependent on the government. The idea for many of these program were “sold” to America as a way to give people a hand-up, but instead it’s turned into a vicious circle of hand-outs.

The only way we are to ever gain our position in the free market as well as the global one, we need to take control away from the federal government. Less government spending, less government involvement are just two of the steps that need to take place before we can reach that goal. We need to reduce taxes across the board to help stimulate the economy. We’ve seen in the past that when taxes are reduced, the revenue is greater. The more corporations and individuals are taxed, the less they have to spend and hire new employees as well as people having more money to spend in the free market.

The two parties have been in power too long and in some cases, members of the parties have been in too long too really make a difference in anything but expanding their network of friends and contributors. They’re no longer working for the American people and when that happens, it’s time for them to get out of office and let some new people with new ideas along with an understanding that they work for the American people If you’re one of the millions of people that are getting tired of both parties, then it’s time for you to look at the third largest political party in America. The Libertarian party is the party that wants you, the American people to take charge of your life and reap the rewards of your hard labor. Self-governance is want the founding fathers had in mind when they laid down the fundamentals of the country. The free market was very important to them that they laid out the Bill Of Rights and the Declaration Of Independence.

For us in Florida, we have that chance with the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate of Florida. Alexander Snitker is the man we need to send to Washington to break up the status quo. An Eight year marine with no political ties to anyone in Washington or Tallahassee. A candidate that believes in the free market, lees taxes, limited goverment, term limits, abolishing the Federal reserve, and eliminating the IRS. This is who we need in Washington. Please check out his platform and what he stands for at Snitker2010.com

On Important Issues, Voters Want Libertarian Solutions

WASHINGTON — The front page of Wednesday’s Politico was a sea of plummeting blue arrows as the paper reported on the slumping approval ratings of major Democrat officials across the nation.  America’s third largest party notes the rapid decline in support for Democrats, with support for Republicans still at record lows, is more proof Americans are looking for Libertarian solutions to the nation’s problems.

“Voters want elected officials who will cut taxes and spending, eliminate the deficit, make health care affordable and accessible, restore America’s traditional non-interventionist foreign policy and respect personal liberties.  Only Libertarians believe in all that.  On the issues people care about, the Libertarian Party is America’s only mainstream political party,” said William Redpath, Libertarian National Committee Chairman.

Libertarians were the only party to oppose both the Bush and Obama bailouts and the deficit spending of both the Republican and Democrat-controlled Congresses.

“Voters are rapidly turning on Democrats, but they still remember what happened under Republicans,” said Redpath.  “They want elected officials at all levels of government to restrain spending and stay out of their lives.  They know smaller government brings more prosperity and more personal freedom.”

Politico reports that many major Democratic officials once considered “safe,” such as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, New Jersey Gov. John Corzine and North Carolina Gov. Bev Purdue now all face uncertain re-election with favorability or approval ratings of less than 37 percent.  Many other major Democratic officials, including President Barack Obama, have seen a rapid collapse in public support.

Fueling the voter backlash is the Democrat’s $787 billion “stimulus” package that many see as wasteful spending, Democrat support for “bailout” interventions into the economy and news the Democrat health care reform bill will place the government in virtual control of their health care decisions.

But voters aren’t rushing to Republicans.  “There’s been no surge in GOP voter registration and little evidence that the party brand is experiencing a recovery. Last month, a New York Times/CBS poll reported that the GOP’s favorability ratings remained at a record-breaking low — 28 percent, down from a high of 59 percent in November 1994,” Politico reports.

“Americans believe freedom works best when it comes to both the economy and their personal lives.  The plummeting approval ratings of Democrats and the rock-bottom ratings of Republicans are a testament to that,” said Redpath.  “The only way to break the cycle of government sprawl and restore long-term prosperity and personal freedom is to vote Libertarian.”

The Libertarian Party is America’s third-largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties.  You can find more information on the Libertarian Party by visiting http://www.LP.org. The Libertarian Party proudly stands for smaller government, lower taxes and more freedom.
