Using Cows To Explain Politics
People often ask how Libertarians picture a perfect government, and if you keep reading this blog you will find out more, but here is a simple example used by a lot of Libertarians
Definition of Communism
You have two cows. The government takes both cows and gives you part of the milk.
Definition of Socialism
You have two cows. The government takes one of your cows and gives it to your neighbor.
Definition of Nazism
You have two cows. The government takes both cows and shoots you.
Definition of Bureaucracy (our government today)
You have two cows. The government shoots one cow (taxes), milks the other, and pours the milk down the drain (regulations).
Definition of Libertarianism (true capitalism)
You have two cows. Everyone leaves you alone. You sell one cow and buy a bull.

I Guess Introductions Are In Order
I guess a few words of introduction should be in order since many of you are wondering "Who is this guy?"
I am originally from Emma Missouri and now reside in Johnson County, and own and operate Affordable Tax And Insurance with offices in Warrensburg and Concordia. Am also a licensed Real Estate Broker and own The Davken Company which specializes in financial management and marketing. For more info you can check out www.randyforgovernor.com/aboutrandy.
I have always been interested in politics and am a Libertarian political activist, and am an elected Committee Man in Johnson County, The Johnson County Libertarian Party Treasurer, and a member of the Missouri Libertarian Party Executive Committee. I ran for Governor in 2004, and only lost the state wide primary by less than 300 votes to the previous 2000 Primary winner. I will most likely be running for state wide office again in 2008, but will postpone that decision till after the 2006 elections are finished.
I decided to start this blog because I though the free publicity of a public forum couldn't hurt visibility for future campaigns, and this would be an excellent opportunity to get the Libertarian message out. If anyone has any questions or would like a specific topic covered, by all means email me. I will get really busy January through April with tax season, and may not contribute much to this blog in that time period, but otherwise have lots of time, and enjoy spreading the message of less taxes, less government, and more personal freedom and responsibility.Thanks for taking the time to visit and please drop in again. This blog will not always be boring politics as usual, and you may be surprised at what is expressed here.
A final note, as I was spell checking this first post, the blogger dictionary could not find the word "blog" and asked me if I wanted to change it to something else. You would have thought that would be the first word in their dictionary.
