Holding Office is a Public Service

4/4/2014

What does it mean to be a public servant?

My philosophy is a bottom up view of government; House->City->County->State->Federal. According to the description in a wonderful lecture on Libertyclassroom.com by Brion McClanahan in the Presentation "Virginia and the Cavaliers" and this philosophy entails an inside-out approach to politics. Your local government is supreme and you consent to any higher level government through self-government.

The next step is relieving the responsibility from government
. By slowly drawing down the size and scope of government; as the private world absorbs this downsizing the real economy will thrive again.

Working for the government is a public service and should be a voluntary act. One of my first goals as Presiding commissioner is to cut my own salary if at all possible. Even if I can't cut it officially by the budget; I want to cut it figuratively. By continuing to live at modest means. I can start putting back the extra salary directly into the County operations. Maybe even hire a part time intern out of my paycheck; it would be good experience for them.
