Reply to a voter, 10/15/26

This is my response to a voter that emailed me on 10/15/26

Q1: I’m under the impression that libertarian wants less government.

A1: Correct.  We want government to interfere less in your life and your wallet.  Much of what government does goes too far.

Q2: If this is your belief, do you support less funding for public schools and law enforcement?

A2: No.  Obviously if there is waste we want to find it and remove it and reduce costs.  The functions of education and law enforcement require what it costs to hire and retain good teachers and police officers and give them what they need to do their job.  PatDixon.org shows my record on city council of trying to increase pay for police so that we retain good police officers.

Q3: How do you think the people can govern them self…

A3: I am not an anarchist.  James Madison said if everyone was an angle we wouldn’t need government.  We need government because some people are not angels and harm others.  If you are doing no harm, government should leave you alone
