There would be no lucrative tax funded pensions for elected officials if Libertarians were elected to public office in Texas. That's the message issued recently following the state party convention in Houston. The LP-Texas executive committee approved a resolution calling for abolishment of all tax funded pension and benefit packages for elected officials in Texas. The Libertarian resolution reminds Texans that the state constitution provides for minimum compensation for its public servants, with the expectation that these elected positions be temporary. Without the tax funded pension and retirement benefits, there would be less incentive for career politicians, and allow for political diversity in elected offices.
Libertarians insist on less government, and individual responsibility . . .
