America’s problems are not a mystery. They are the predictable result of a government that has expanded far beyond its proper role—crowding out families, markets, and communities.
A free society requires a limited government that does a few things well, and resists the temptation to control everything else.
As articulated by Milton Friedman, government exists to serve the people—not manage them. At its core, its role is limited to four essential functions:
Government exists to serve the people—not manage them. At its core, its role is limited to:
When government moves beyond these roles, it becomes inefficient, ideological, and ultimately destructive to freedom.
Milton Friedman explains the proper role of government in a free society.
Every policy choice has costs.
Pretending otherwise is how we ended up with runaway spending.
Bureaucratic bloat and trillions in debt followed.
Policies must be judged by results—not intentions.
Complex tax systems punish success.
They reward avoidance, loopholes, and offshore capital.
A broad-based flat tax with a low rate would eliminate special interests, increase compliance, and keep capital productive and onshore.
Lower rates on a broader base produce more revenue than high rates on a shrinking one.
Economic freedom is not separate from political freedom. A government powerful enough to control markets, speech, and behavior is powerful enough to control people.
My platform applies these principles to today’s problems—family collapse, runaway spending, cultural decay, and bureaucratic overreach—because freedom still works when we let it.
These ideas work because they respect human nature, incentives, and freedom.
