CHASE
Your DREAMS
Chase Oliver, dubbed the "most influential Libertarian in America" by Rolling Stone, is the Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee. Oliver passionately champions the rights of all individuals against the growing power of politicians and bureaucrats, and the big-money cronies who keep them in power. This 39 year old brings the needed energy that will leave the old parties struggling to keep up. His issues resonate with everyday people who see a system that patronizingly throws them crumbs while needlessly making their lives more difficult and cruelly pitting them against each other.
EMPOWER PEOPLE THROUGH JUSTICE REFORM
It is long past time we address the problems with our criminal justice system. From Courts to police, to prisons, we need reforms in every area with one goal in mind, empower people, not the government. With less than five percent of the world's population, we host roughly a quarter of its prison population. That is simply unacceptable in a nation that styles itself as the land of the free. The current system feeds a prison-industrial complex that leads to the militarization of our police, corruption in our prosecutors who have perverse incentives to push for longer sentences, the building of private prisons that value profit over rehabilitation, and a cycle of incarceration that breeds lowered earnings and poverty that leads to recidivism.
END THE FAILED WAR ON DRUGS INDEFINITELY
As the failed War on Drugs drags into its fifth long decade, we can all see that the policies of strict prohibition and prison need to change. Just as with the Eighteenth Amendment and its prohibition of alcohol, the criminalization of drugs simply has not worked. The black markets it has created have increased violent crime, engendered police corruption, and contributed to the rise of cartels in places near, such as Mexico, and far, such as Afghanistan. It's time to end more than two generations of regressive, harmful, and unproductive drug policy and move America into a new chapter.
CHAMPION GUN RIGHTS FOR ALL
I support the right of every person to defend themselves from violence and aggression. Gun control throughout our history has been used to limit the ability of vulnerable populations to defend themselves. Armed people are harder to oppress and harder to attack.
EMPOWER PARENTS & STUDENTS IN EDUCATION
At the federal level, the best policy on education is to remove the federal government's involvement. I support abolishing the Department of Education and block granting those funds back to states to be returned to taxpayers. I also support getting the government out of the student loan business so market forces can lower the cost of higher education over time.
ALLOW PHASE-OUT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
Public funding of primary and secondary education shall be attached to each child, in full measure per pupil equal to the funding of public schools. Public schools will be allowed to phase-out under competitive pressures. Public funding of higher education, including student loans shall be eliminated.
EMPOWER DECENTRALIZATION OF AUTHORITY
Every State shall have the right to exit from its present Constitutional subjugation to future Federal regulation, executive order, and court oversight, and to remain subject to taxation only for the purpose of supporting the defense. Every State shall have the right to nullify any Federal legislation that is not directly supported by a power granted to the Federal government explicitly by the Constitution. As supported by Jefferson and Madison in the construction of our nation and enshrined in our Constitution's Tenth Amendment, our federal government is merely the agent of the states and intended to be used as a unifying bond.
CREATE A THRIVING ECONOMY
Every day, average Americans face many challenges in our overly regulated economy where government, lobbyists, and special interests continuously conspire to pick winners and losers. From trillions of dollars in government deficits, and trillions more in unfunded liabilities, our government recklessly crowds out funding that would be better served allowing innovation in the marketplace to find solutions to our most pressing issues. To combat these constant rounds of economic and financial crises, we must get government out of our boardrooms and wallets, and allow individuals to decide how to best distribute their hard-earned dollars.
END WARS & SUPPORT PEACE
My entire adult life, our nation has been at war somewhere in the world. I have friends and loved ones who have served, and come home with the visible and invisible scars of combat. I've seen them mourn their brothers and sisters who didn't come home. I meet more and more anti-war veterans every day, and they know more than anyone about the cost of war. It's time we focus our foreign policy on Peace. We should end our policy of sending drones around the world and instead foster international goodwill by defending free trade and free markets. Our nation has long had the moniker 'leader of the free world.' It is time we earn that distinction by insisting that Peace is the way forward. End the wars. End the drones. End the policy of constant intervention. It's easy to drop a bomb, it's much harder to serve as a beacon of Peace. We must take the more difficult but necessary path.
REFORM IMMIGRATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Our immigration system is a tragic mess. We simply must break the partisan logjam and bring people from all parties together to reform and modernize it. There are few better examples of "bad government" than the overly complex current laws and regulations involving immigration. The President needs to take the lead and work with Congress to radically simplify our immigration system so people can come here, work, and become members of our communities without being relegated to the shadows. Immigrants built this country, and they can help keep it growing and prospering for future generations of Americans.
PRESERVE INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY
No government authority shall exist to regulate individual activity. No government shall have the authority to impose a penalty of death, bail out corporations, criminalize the use of drugs or other substances, inhibit access to abortion before viability, regulate employment practices, draft into military service, tax individual entities, coerce vaccination or medical treatment, or coerce censorship of any privately controlled mode of communication.
LOWER THE COST OF HEALTHCARE THROUGH MARKET & INNOVATION
Healthcare is too expensive because of government overregulation. We should advocate for market alternatives to heavily regulated employer-provided insurance such as the Direct Primary Care model. We should also reform how we bring new drugs to market and end practices such as patent evergreening which keep the cost of too many drugs artificially high. With more choices and free market forces, we will see a drop in the cost of healthcare overall.
