You Are Libertarian

The More Power The Government Has,

The More “Conflicts” Arise.   At last night’s council meeting the Mayor read aloud a letter from a constituent (and supporter, incidentally) who expressed concern that there was a perceived fault in the recent passage of a law that abolished the age restriction for renters of newly renovated back houses.  The writer said that if granted a permit to renovate […]
