First published 2014
Matt Kibbe presents his case for libertarian principles through six straightforward rules that he argues can restore American freedom. The FreedomWorks president and bestselling author contends that political and corporate establishments have steadily weakened constitutional protections for self-determination. His framework centers on two core prohibitions: avoiding harm to others and respecting property rights. The remaining rules call for personal accountability, hard work, tolerance, and resistance to corrupt authority. Kibbe maintains these principles unite Americans regardless of their political affiliations, tracing them back to the founding documents. He demonstrates how modern policies from taxation to surveillance violate the property rights and individual liberties that originally distinguished the United States. The book provides readers with a practical blueprint for reclaiming constitutional freedoms and taking control of their own lives.
