Fellow Libertarians, I love you all even when you don’t love me or when you don’t love each other. I do encourage you all to love a little bit more, you’ll like the way it feels. #amliberty https://t.co/vqGch7Zec5

The burden should never be on an individual to justify the use of the their life, body and property. The burden should be placed on those who want to justify confiscating, destroying or controlling the life/body/property of others with the highest level of scrutiny. #amliberty

Consent breeds reciprocity, accountability and knowledge. Free Markets function based on consent. Of course I want more accountability and reciprocity in healthcare, education, housing, etc. #FreeMarkets #Libertarian #amliberty

I try to have an open mind but I swear what I hear from people often translates to “If you don’t support confiscating people’s stuff and incarcerating them for consensual non-violent behavior I don’t like, you are a bad person”. #Libertarian #Amliberty

Just a friendly reminder that I stand for radical amounts of decentralization, individualism and free exchange in education, healthcare, housing and all other goods, services and societal organizing. Freedom really does work. #amliberty

I always find it curious when people argue for a broader role for the LNC in particular the role of Chair. Their arguments often remind me of those who cry for more presidential power and centralization. #amliberty #decentralization #governance

Centralized power does not balance but only exacerbates the gap between privilege and disadvantage by creating entrenched barriers to individuals closing the gap themselves. Brick by brick balance comes from consent and community not compulsion and authority. #amliberty

If you are worried about power dynamics between the privileged and disadvantaged, you should want as small a state as possible. The powerful and privileged will always seize the power of the state to further their interests. #amliberty

You may feel some things governments must or should do, but do not pretend there is no cost to doing so and don’t be quick to assume the benefit outweighs those costs.#amliberty

Governments impose costs on society via regulations, taxes, tariffs, licensing, etc. These costs are paid in lower disposable income, higher costs, lower employment, less entrepneurship and mal-investment. #amliberty

Libertarianism doesn’t need the right people in right places doing the right things to work. It just needs people free enough to try things in different ways to find practical and marginal improvements. #amliberty https://t.co/hDvznECVHd

Always makes me sad to see like minded fellows burn bridges over less than ideal tweets and responses. Sometimes we trigger people, sometimes they get defensive, but we should be careful not to to turn them into grudges or resentment. #amliberty

My podcast goes by a lot of names on iTunes/Spotify/Stitcher/TuneIN/iHeartRadio/Google Play The reason is that way there is a name/brand that you can refer your friends to depending on their leanings. Same content, slightly different superficial branding. #amliberty https://t.co/OwG3Lok8hv

You inspire others in your actions and words so choose them wisely. I choose tolerance, empathy, forgiveness, hope, liberalism, curiousity, reciprocity, accountability and knowledge as what I hope to inspire. #amliberty

There is a difference between thinking everyone should have something vs thinking only one entity should provide something by applying force on those who provide or seek alternatives. #amliberty
