The abolition of all taxation imposed on private enterprise in the production, exchange, investment and consumption of wealth, together with all monopolies, sinecures and special privileges. The restriction of government to functions which are necessary monopolies, in which private enterprise cannot operate efficiently and in the national interest.

Moreover, the maximum conservation of nonrenewable resources obviously is the best policy. The full charge for economic rent would force this land prematurely into use, which is undesirable.
