Libertarians on Government Fiscal Mess: Bipartisan Mismanagement


Ubet, WI—“The bipartisan dysfunction over the Federal national debt ceiling and the increasing deficits directly threatens every family in the country,” said the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) Press Office, in a statement released this week. “Democrats and Republicans both hold absolute responsibility for their ‘bullet-train’ deficit policies rapidly running out of track. They must own up for the mismanagement of their public trust.”


“Right now, with no plan in sight to actually change the business as usual, the national debt will more than equal 100 percent of the American GDP. Every man, woman, and child in the country now owns almost $100,000 each of that debt. That share will only go up. Did voters and taxpayers actually consent to that by their own free choice? Did they have any other choice at all?


Libertarians believe that the government’s use of courts, sheriff auctions, and the threat of imprisonment to ensure tax collection—all violate a political doctrine of free-will choice and responsible consent, a doctrine promoted by the LPWI. And as such, forced taxation leads to fiscal irresponsibility, larger deficits, and unsustainable debt.


In contrast, many libertarian economists propose a competitive choice of goods and services for rents or fees, or a system of consumption-based taxation where people have choices. “Voters who join or adopt a Libertarian Party program of restraint in government revenues and expenditures rid a free people of the problem of their government mismanaging its business, and it stops the moral crime of using violence against citizens in order to collect tax revenues,” the LPWI statement concluded.

Libertarians to Voters: “Let’s go! Follow us!”

Activist Convention Selects Leadership for Next Election


Ubet, WI—“We’ll be ready to give voters the best options in 2024,” said the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) Press Office, following the state party convention in Milwaukee on Saturday, April 15th. “Voters absolutely want a change from the bipartisan dysfunction currently in control of their government. To all Wisconsin citizens, we say, ‘Let’s go! Follow us!’”


Electing its new Executive Committee, under a new chair, Stephen Ecker of Iola, WI, the LPWI convention also passed several important resolutions. One resolution denounced attempts by any governmental body to stop, control, censor or punish public access to the freedom of information, to information platforms, or the natural right to free speech, if such information and speech does NOT harm anyone or steal from them.


The Free Speech Resolution responded to pending legislation in the US Congress, called the RESTRICT Act, that would allow government control or banning of any online platform or content deemed, in loosely defined protocols determined solely by the government, as dangerous. Notably written in regards to the Chinese-owned media app TikTok, the legislation has earned the nickname of the “PATRIOT Act 2.0,” referring to the government’s covert surveillance and enforcement laws following the 9/11/01 terrorist acts.


Also at the LPWI convention, member Phil Anderson announced his Wisconsin campaign for the United States Senate in 2024. Anderson, a resident of Middleton, WI, said he believes that Libertarians need to keep “ramming” at the gates of the monopoly politics which controls the government. Noting his theme of “Disrupt the Corruption,” Anderson vowed to run a vigorous, funded effort, and will seek the party endorsement at its next annual convention in one year’s time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Libertarians Look to Grow at Milwaukee Convention:

More Membership to Highlight Livecast


Ubet, WI—The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) plans to build its membership and its public appeal during its April 14th to April 16th Convention at the Potawatomi Casino & Hotel in Milwaukee, using an online Live Cast on Saturday, April 15th, to share its message of prosperity and peace for all.


“Our party’s platform calling for the peaceful consent by the governed, NOT the violent coercion by a government, has a universal appeal and logic, and can solve the ethical and material decay of our state and our nation,” the LPWI Press Office said in a statement. “The LPWI’s principles translate as the idea and action we practice and propose for the world: ‘Don’t hurt people; don’t steal from them.’ It stays that simple and positive. People can understand it.”


As traditionally the third most important party in the state since its founding fifty years ago, the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin knows that a larger membership, reflecting the diverse people of the state and its communities, can take it to another, higher level in politics.


“The LPWI’s ideal of a general peace and its free-commerce and free-minds agenda would allow individuals, their families, and their communities to control and run their own affairs better than a forceful and centralized government,” the statement said. “Watch our convention on the Live Cast to find out more.”


For more on the LPWI platform or details about the convention, including the Saturday online Live Cast beginning at 8 AM, please visit the website: www.lpwi.org (“Convention”).
