Libertarian Party of Wisconsin Calls For Fundamental Changes To Government

As we begin the 119th Congress in Washington, The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) would like to remind the 100 Senators and 435 voting Representatives that the voters this past November voted for liberty and freedom. They chose less government, less bureaucracy, and less crushing taxation.

“It is evident from the state of the country, from the habits of the people, from the experience we have had on the point itself, that it is impracticable to raise any very considerable sums by direct taxation. Tax laws have in vain been multiplied; new methods to enforce the collection have in vain been tried; the public expectation has been uniformly disappointed, and the treasuries of the States have remained empty.” – Alexander Hamilton; Federalist #12, November 27, 1787

From the birth of our country to today, more taxation always results in less wealth and prosperity among the people, yet all levels of government require more and more taxation. Government grows exponentially while the people’s worth diminishes. It is time to break that cycle. Small tax cuts for friends and tiny cuts to bureaucracy will not suffice. Wholesale changes need to come from Congress, not new Executive branch agencies.
