[citation needed] During a subsequent Zoom meeting on January 12, 2024, the new organization officially adopted the name "Liberal Party" and named Trisha Butler to serve as the Liberal Party's pro-tem chairwoman until the inaugural convention.
In the economic area, the party favors “simpler and less invasive methods of taxation” which would only raise the amount of money needed for a functioning government, along with a balanced budget.
It also supports bodily autonomy and education as parents see fit without government interference, along with a right to privacy.
It also supports ending civil asset forfeiture and decriminalizing victimless crimes, including sex work and gambling.
[18] In the economic area, the party strongly supports capitalism, with its platform “[rejecting] any unnecessary impositions on the right of individuals or businesses to trade freely and/or to maintain the livelihoods of their choosing.” It strongly supports private property and a decrease in government regulation of the economy, although it believes that dealing with harms that arise from social or commercial activity is a legitimate government function.
It encourages participation in treaties as long as they are of mutual benefit to the United States and to the other parties involved and supports free trade with as little restriction as possible between nations.
