The Constitution grants each American the right to self-determination, to be protected from others whose actions are destructive to their lives and property. Yet as Kibbe persuasively shows, the political and corporate establishment consolidates its power by infringing upon our independence—from taxes to regulations to spying—ultimately eroding the ideals, codified in law, that have made the United States unique in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKibbe offers a surefire plan for reclaiming our inalienable rights and regaining control of our lives, grounded in six simple rules:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e Don’t hurt people: \u003c\/strong\u003eFree people just want to be left alone, not hassled or harmed by someone else with an agenda or designs over their life and property.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eDon’t take people’s stuff: \u003c\/strong\u003eAmerica’s founders fought to ensure property rights and our individual right to the fruits of our labors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eTake responsibility: \u003c\/strong\u003eLiberty takes responsibility.

Simple and straightforward, that's liberty in a nutshell—no assembly required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet it seems like, more and more, the decisions Washington makes about what to do for us, or to us, or even against us, are having an increasingly adverse impact on our lives. Young people can't find jobs, millions of Americans are losing the health care plans they were promised they could keep, and every one of us is somehow being targeted, monitored, snooped on, conscripted, induced, taxed, subsidized, regulated, or otherwise manipulated by someone else's agenda, based on someone else's decisions made in some secret meeting or closed-door legislative deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat gives?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur government is out of control. But setting things right again requires that you step up and take your freedom back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Matt Kibbe, the influential leader of FreedomWorks, \u003cem\u003eDon't Hurt People and Don't Take Their Stuff\u003c\/em\u003e is the first true manifesto of a new libertarian grassroots movement. As political powermongers and crony corporatists in Washington continue to consolidate their control and infringe on our most fundamental liberties, Kibbe makes the libertarian case for freer people, more voluntary cooperation, and solving problems from the bottom up. He calls out the tyranny of faceless bureaucrats with too much power and discretion, laying out a clear road map for restoring liberty. A witty yet piercing critique of government's expanding control over you and your future, \u003cem\u003eDon't Hurt People and Don't Take Their Stuff\u003c\/em\u003e is a vital read for all those who cherish personal liberty and the unalienable right to choose your own path in life.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“For those eager to understand the clear-thinking that informs libertarian philosophy, Kibbe’s book is an excellent choice. ... Kibbe’s goal is to revive the libertarianism that clearly animated our founding fathers. ...
