3. Libertarians will tackle the rigged education and justice systems to equal the playing field for everyone.
A common complaint of the liberal commentators on these topics (and rightly so!) is that these aforementioned systems are rigidly stacked against minority and low wage communities.
Libertarians agree, and support voucher systems for parents that would allow households of any income or school district to choose which school their children can attend. In the localized areas where such a system has been implemented, it has been a success. Libertarians wish to bring this concept to the masses and make it possible for every district in every state to give parents these options – with better education comes better opportunities of all sorts moving forward. This is the first step.
And what of the justice system? Well, the justice system, whether it be the police brutality epidemic, its disproportionately harsher sentences for minority drug offenders, or its inability for said offenders to clear their records and make good lives for themselves even if they do get out, is pretty racist. Libertarian philosophy, as well as proposed political policy, claims that this system is corrupt and needs to be reformed through massive reforms that are focused on repealing present laws, such as civil asset forfeiture, the unbelievably high number of civil fines, and drug laws, that are only enforced against minority and low-income communities, and adhering to Constitutional principles that allow for truly fair dye process, regardless of color or income, to truly be served.
In other words, libertarians see this as a problem that starts well before the police, however abhorrently behaved, are even involved, and starts on the desks of corrupt politicians with bad laws. Libertarians will fight to repeal and keep at bay said laws moving into the future the more influence they start to have in public policy. And congressional bills have even been proposed by libertarian-minded Republicans and Democrats that aim to clear the records of non-violent offenders who have been wrongfully imprisoned and charged.
