01 What is a Libertarian?

To put it simply, Libertarians believe that you have the right to live
your life as you wish, without the government interfering -- as long
as you don't violate the rights of others. Politically, this means
Libertarians favor rolling back the size and cost of government, and
eliminating laws that stifle the economy and control people's personal
choices.
