“What you guys are talking about is not what consenting adults do in private, or public for that matter, it’s things the taxpayer should be forced to pay for. Now there I draw the line.”
Robbing Peter to pay Paul certainly doesn’t help Peter and it doesn’t do Paul much good either. New Zealand is drowning in welfare. Here’s what Libertarianz intends to do about it.
Libertarianz leader Bernard Darnton gives two reasons why state education is wrong and education spokesman Phil Howison explains how to separate school and state.
Your ownership of your own body is your most fundamental right. Your body is your own to look after or to abuse. Likewise your health care is your own responsibility. Libertarianz health policy recognises this.
Forcing someone to subsidise another’s health care costs is wrong. Taxpayer funding of health care also serves as an excuse for all sorts of further nannying. If the state carries the cost of your mountain climbing or pie eating it will be naturally inclined to boss you around while you’re doing those things.
Libertarianz health spokesman, Dr Richard McGrath, explains the Party’s health policy and outlines a transitional policy which will see those goals realised over five years.
