Civil Service
|
Status Quo Option: Keep the Existing Plank. For all platform categories
we have the option of doing nothing; that is accepting what the LP already
has.

The LP Platform Currently Reads
The Issue: We recognize that the Civil
Service is inherently a system of concealed patronage, which entrenches a
permanent and growing bureaucracy upon the land.
The Principle: The concept of "career bureaucrat"
is anathema to true liberty. We promote the Jeffersonian concept of "citizen
statesman" and would extend it to those performing "necessary public service"
functions, as long as those are not being provided by the private sector.
Solutions: We therefore recommend a return
to the Jeffersonian principle of rotation in office. Transitional
Action: We propose the abolition of the Civil Service system.
[If you think the current LP position on this subject is acceptable, then
vote "yes" below. If not, vote "no" below. Either way, please consider the
other options listed on the right sidebar and vote "yes" for all that you
like and "no" for all that you dislike. This is an approval vote; you get
to vote for all of the options that you like.]
