I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
Note: Libertarian Girl is off to Europe, but while she’s away she’ll be updating with previously written posts about politics and life in the places she’s visiting. She’ll soon be back to her regularly scheduled Libertarian Girl programming.
Today I’ll be flying from Venice into Paris, where I don’t think I can escape from seeing the [...]

The Stephansdom cathedral is one of the central sights in Vienna. As the center of commerce and home [...]

Today, I head from two extremes: venturing from the very Eastern-European Bratislava, Slovakia into Vienna, Austria, the capital [...]
Chris Tame, the founder of Britain’s Libertarian Alliance, died two years ago today. As is so often the case, Sean Gabb says it best.
“But he has now been dead two years. No one can possibly replace him as a centre of gravity for the British libertarian movement. At first or second hand, he inspired every [...]
“Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man.”
Why can’t libertarians “brainwash” kids, too?

Libertarians believe in individual freedom– life, liberty, property, the pursuit of happiness, and all that. This can often be accomplished through ownership of private property. What about freedom for trees, though?
I present to you The Tree That Owns Itself, in Athens, Georgia.
One unfortunate aspect about The Tree That Owns Itself is that, while it [...]
MSNBC has cancelled Tucker Carlson’s show. Reaction has ranged from “Tucker Who?” to “Hallelujah!” to a sense of sadness to see a non-typical right-winger get kicked off a channel (from a liberal) to “Now he can be McCain’s vice presidential nominee.”
Many people describe Tucker Carlson as a libertarian or a conservative-libertarian, so it’s important to [...]
Would the poor prosper better in a libertarian society than they do now? I believe so. Here’s why:

The “War on Drugs” disproportionately places poor people in prison for non-violent crimes, separating families and ruining lives.
The inflation tax is a tax no politician [...]
Sean Gabb of the UK’s Libertarian Alliance writes:
“There are those who think libertarianism involves a defence of riches and of the rich. Some libertarians seem to agree. I do not. A libertarian is someone who wants to be left alone, and who wants to leave others alone, and who wants others to be left alone. [...]
“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by federal government project allocation, and the power of money, is ever present, and is gravely to be regarded.” — President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The government should stay out of science completely. Science, scientists, taxpayers, and the world would be better off for it. Research scientists are usually [...]
