The result is a North Carolina state government almost exactly half its current size. We hope they will do the right thing and let our citizens keep their hard earned dollars, instead of squandering billions more on their pet projects. If all the Libertarian budget cuts were enacted, the state would be able to completely abolish the personal income tax, along with a host of other taxes and fees. The sales of surplus property would cover the money needed for buying out the almost 19,000 state employees employed by the affected agencies. The Libertarian Party ran over 40 candidates for office in North Carolina in 1998, and is already qualified for the ballot in 2000.
Libertarians promote solutions based on voluntary cooperation over government action.
They advocate individual choice and personal responsibility on all issues, and limit government to protecting people's lives and liberty.
