FreedomFest
Richard Rahn writes in today’s Washington Times about FreedomFest, an annual gathering of libertarians in Las Vegas:
How old were you before you realized your actions could result in unintended consequences? Men create democratic governments to protect life, liberty and property. Yet much of what modern government does daily has the largely unintended consequence of endangering and/or reducing life, liberty and property.
Taxes reduce liberty and often erode the value of property. Most regulations reduce liberty and some erode property values and even endanger life. We now spend much of our lives trying to figure out how to reduce our tax burdens and to comply with never-ending government regulations and forms.
In mid-July of each year, several thousand economic libertarians meet in libertine Las Vegas as part of the annual FreedomFest.
They come to discuss how they can keep the foot of government light by removing ever-growing government restrictions on their liberty, and how they can personally protect their property (savings and investments).
