Revolution is in the air. People are angry and frustrated. They’re angry at the lockdowns that devastated the economy. They’re angry at the government for constant stories of incompetence and corruption. They’re frustrated that their wages don’t keep up with inflation. They can’t fill their gas tanks. They can’t feed their families. They can’t pay their rent. Many seem to be consumed by an explosive mixture of fear and rage.
He says we need a Libertarian Revolution through the ballot box – a political revolution driven by voters who are tired of wealth inequality, endless wars, and political corruption; voters who realize that the path to liberty, peace, and prosperity depends on individual liberty, property rights, and the rule of law. For too long, our national social policies, economic policies, and foreign policies have been influenced and controlled by bureaucratic experts who don’t suffer for their mistakes. We must work to dismantle the complex legal structure that allows the banking system, the military/ industrial/congressional complex, the corporate giants, and the main-stream media to control so much of our daily lives.
Freedom is the genius of American civilization. Other great nations have been born in conquest. Ours began with the Declaration of Independence and the enshrining of the idea of the natural rights of man. It was founded, not on the power of the State, but on the liberty of the individual. That principle of individual liberty has had its good days and its bad days in the United States; it’s been denied to many groups of people for far too long. But the ideal has always survived. It is our answer and our hope.
