Who should have control over your future?
The government should apply laws equally to all.
Laws that protect us from:
- Violence
- Theft
- Fraud
Laws that support:
- Public safety
- Environmental preservation
- Healthy communities
But too much government control leads to fewer opportunities and less prosperity.
Governments like those in China, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba limit where people are allowed to live and work.
Prosperity depends on individuals retaining the right to make their own decisions about their lives.
