Libertarian Party of Bexar County

Better make it six!

It’s been twenty years since V for Vendetta warned us what happens when fear replaces freedom—and we’ve learned nothing. In our panic, we elected Trump and Biden not out of hope, but out of fear. Both men—different in tone, identical in effect—embodied the same traits that defined Norsefire, the authoritarian regime from V for Vendetta: control through fear, obedience through manipulation, and the quiet surrender of liberty disguised as safety. We didn’t resist tyranny; we voted for our preferred version of it.

‘Remember, remember, the 5th of November’ — when people remembered that too much government power was the real threat to public safety.

"A compassionate society should never build its safety net on coercion or political whims. It’s time for Americans—not Washington—to step up."

SNAP and the Illusion of Compassion

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may sound compassionate on paper, but it’s built on a flawed premise: that government should take from some to feed others. Every dollar spent on SNAP is a dollar first taken from working Americans through taxes. It’s easy to feel good about government “helping the poor,” but in reality, the government has no money of its own—only what it extracts from its citizens.

When people argue that government welfare is “necessary,” they ignore an uncomfortable truth: what government gives, it can just as easily take away. Bureaucratic programs breed dependency, not security. Millions have come to rely on SNAP, and now that government cut funding, that dependency is turning into widespread hunger. A compassionate society should never build its safety net on coercion or political whims.

It’s time for Americans—not Washington—to step up. Charity and community are the moral and sustainable solutions. Local food banks, charities, and neighbors helping neighbors can adapt to real needs far better than distant bureaucrats can. Voluntary giving fosters responsibility, gratitude, and dignity on both sides of the exchange.

Taxation is not generosity—it’s force. And while no one wants to see people go hungry, the answer is not more government programs that perpetuate dependence. It’s restoring a culture where people freely choose to help one another. SNAP is not the way. Liberty, compassion, and community are.

Vote no on Prop A and B. We don't need it. We can't afford it.

Today is election day, remember to swing by the polls and vote!

Early voting starts today (Oct 20, 2025). Make an informed choice — read the LPTexas Voter Guide: 2025 Constitutional Amendments. Know the propositions and your rights before you vote.

This isn't sustainable. We now spend more on interest payments than we do on Medicare and national "defense." It is the second largest line-item in the federal budget (only surpassed by social security).
