I am running for President because it is obvious that no Democrat or Republican is ever going to stop the relentless growth of the federal government. Only a Libertarian will free you from the income tax.
Harry Browne
Image
Most politicians believe in just one thing - winning elections. They'll say anything to get in office and stay there.
Harry Browne
Image
In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.

Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.

Image
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are, others will want to be with you, want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.

Can you think of a single area of government in which George Bush hasn't already made things worse than Bill Clinton did?

Freedom and responsibility aren't interconnected things. They are the same thing.

The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun-owners than in one of disarmed citizens - even if you don't own a gun yourself.

World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.
Harry Browne
Image
While most people in TV, radio, and the press have treated me wonderfully, some of the most important people want to pretend I don't exist.
Harry Browne
Image
A great burden was lifted from my shoulders the day I realized that no one owes me anything.
Harry Browne
Image
In almost all matters, the real question should be: why are we letting government handle this?

Get your money out of the country before your country gets your money out of you
Harry Browne
Image
Once upon a time, government budgets were balanced, our money was sound, the streets were safe, and taxes imposed by all levels of government took less than 10% of our income.

Image
The Bill of Rights isn't some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives freer, more prosperous, and happier. By forsaking it, America has become no better than any other country in the world.
Harry Browne
Image
We may not always recognize it, but government plays a bigger role in our lives than any other single person or institution. We spend nearly half of our lives working to pay for it. Children spend more time in government schools than they do with their parents. Birth, death, marriage, every area of our lives feels the influence of government.

It has long been apparent that many people in the media don't believe you're competent to make your own decisions.

I have no temptation to vote, to campaign, to try and stop a candidate who promises new follies.
