CrowdHealth and "Healthshare" companies are very good examples of what libertarians like myself would like to see expanded as well. Affordable quality healthcare from the corporate side of things as well. Localism isn't the end all be all we don't want to put our eggs in one basket. Checks and balances stuffs lol

I am not the MC and they may run the national party but Texas is doing great. Don't let them get to you but I understand. Have a good day and thanks for showing up to the AMA. DM me if you want to share any complaints on LPTexas or have any wants for the Texas party to do more of etc. Any insight will help me take LPTexas to the next level.

Thank you for your loyalty and I hope that means we get your vote. You are so right Abbott is a huge threat to Texas and sure Beto is a better option but by a small margin imo. Your vote for libertarians means we could also be a viable option in the future or even now but without the continued support we will never win. I hope your loyalty stays true by helping more libertarians win.

Libertarians are for free choice but only if it doesn't harm others around you. We take addiction very seriously and greatly encourage social programs preferably at a local level so the service can be as personalized as possible. Most Libertarians love localism. We want the people to give back and help each other and that stance includes the government. You should be able to help people for the betterment of humanity. Libertarians want to make sure that the government doesn't get in the way of doing that. Sadly this isn't always displayed by the community of Libertarians in their messaging but our elected officials show otherwise. Ed Tiddwell the mayor of Lago Vista, Texas is libertarian. In the five years that he's been mayor the population increases ~60%, sales tax up by ~66%, property taxes dropped 33%, and they've been able to add more to their community in terms of parks and other small benefits thanks to his guidance and his team. My town has a $7 a month charge for your water bill that covers any and all emergency transportation to and from the hospitals and I personally along with many others would like to see this expand into more medical coverage for my city that's voluntary and encourages competition among government and corporations alike. It's a perfect example of localism that Libertarians love. I'm sorry the empathy doesn't always come across but the Libertarian Party of Texas craves an empathetic and loving society.

I personally worked with him on this AMA and others as a volunteer for his campaign but I do not want to put words in his mouth. I'll ask him if he can provide further details to your question as well as others on the thread. These AMAs are a lot of work surprisingly so some of these remarks are a little short. Feel free to send Mark a private message as well in Reddit or Twitter.

Where it already comes from. Taxes.

It sounds like he wants to fix the issue (one issue anyhow) of the "rich" area of town having nicer schools compared to the others by allowing the money allocated per student to follow the student and allowing kids the option of not being stuck in their respective "zone". Plenty of people already do this by enrolling their kids in schools not a part of their district which had it's own complications and issues. Homeschooling as well could be an example of this but it's much cheaper then private school with the same benefits assuming a parent can put forth the effort.

Arizona has implemented their own version of school choice I think as well.
