“The values of the Live and Let Live Movement are contained within the Live and Let Live Moral Principle. As such, they are voluntary and should never be legally mandated. However, the Movement encourages all people to live by them. They include acting with high character, thinking win/win, open mindedness, tolerance, voluntary kindness, civility, a commitment to truth, facts, and rational thought, building high levels of trust with others, justice and consistent self-improvement. These aspirational values are voluntary and support creating global freedom and peace. By embodying these values, the Live and Let Live Movement community can optimize happiness and decrease suffering."

"No. The Live and Live Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity inspiring people and institutions to respect every individual's freedom to live their life in any peaceful way they choose. The Live and Let Live Movement welcomes members of all political parties, no political parties, and those who are entirely non-political, too. The only rquirement for membership is to accept both Live and Let Live Principles."

“The answer to this question depends on how a person specifically defines “government.” The Live and Let Live Movement is unconcerned with the “proper” definition of
“government” or the proper size of “government.” Instead, the Movement advocates for the Live and Let Live Legal Principle to apply to all people and all entities in the same way. So long as the “government” (or any other person or entity) doesn’t violate the Live and Let Live Legal Principle, it should be allowed to do anything at all. As such the size of “government” is irrelevant to the Live and Let Live Movement.”

“The Live and Let Live Movement does not reach the question of why a person should or would agree that “aggression” is wrong and should be illegal in all cases. Indeed, there are many different reasons why people conclude that aggression is wrong. Some people oppose aggression for religious reasons. Others cite natural law, social contract, economics, philosophy, or practical reasons. To support aggression is to support unreasonableness. Many different arguments can be employed to conclude aggression is wrong and should be illegal. The Live and Let Live Movement does not adopt any particular argument to conclude aggression is wrong and should be illegal in all cases.”

“It is not essential to know why an individual agrees that we should inspire and encourage others to embody the principles of being an excellent human. Indeed, numerous justifications exist for why people arrive at the conclusion that living as an excellent human represents a proper and moral approach to life. Some individuals reference their religious beliefs, while others may invoke natural law, the social contract, economic considerations, philosophical arguments, or practical reasons. The Live and Let Live Movement posits that embodying the virtues of an excellent human constitutes the optimal path to achieving a happy, productive, satisfying, and prosperous existence. However, the Movement also staunchly defends the legal rights of all individuals to arrive at differing conclusions and to live as they choose, provided they do not infringe upon the Live and Let Live Legal Principle by engaging in aggression.”

“Aggression” is defined as follows:

1. Initiating nonconsensual force against another person or their property;
2. Engaging in fraud;
3. Engaging in coercion;
4. Creating a substantial risk or threat of initiating nonconsensual physical force
   against another person or their property;
5. Breaching a valid contract;
6. Engaging in unreasonable conduct causing harm to another person or their
   property; or
7. Breaching a fiduciary duty.
   
   

In addition to encouraging people to be excellent humans, the Movement promotes calibrating (assess and adjust) the law to remove aggression in the spirit of freedom. The Live and Let Live Movement seeks to prohibit all aggression. The Movement requires the Live and Let Live Legal Principle - Don’t Aggress. All acts of aggression should always be illegal. This is not a suggestion and there are no exceptions.

The Live and Let Live Legal Principle applies to all people equally, even if they form groups, organizations, corporations, or governments. It is the most fundamental legal principle upon which all other laws ought to be based. Therefore, all laws ought to be in harmony with the Live and Let Live Legal Principle such that all aggression be outlawed.

As with all issues, competent adults should have the right to do whatever they want so long as they do not violate The Live and Let Live Legal Principle. As with all issues, we simply seek to fairly and honestly determine whether The Principle has been violated. If so, the conduct should be illegal.

“The issue of taxation fundamentally involves the government expropriating money from individuals who rightfully own it. As the owner of the funds has no option but to comply, we can characterize this transaction as involuntary. Given that the Live and Let Live Legal Principle applies universally to individuals, groups, and governments, it follows that the government's involuntary seizure of an individual's money constitutes a violation of the Live and Let Live Legal Principle through taxation.

That said, the Live and Let Live Movement does not advocate for the immediate or reckless abolition of all forms of taxation. Instead, we champion a careful, rational, fair, and gradual transition that allows sufficient time for alternative funding mechanisms—consistent with all facets of the Live and Let Live Philosophy—to effectively supplant taxation without jeopardizing any essential services or benefits to individuals who are justly entitled to them.

We acknowledge that the aspiration of completely replacing taxation with alternative funding for necessary services may never be fully realized due to various challenges. Nonetheless, the Live and Let Live Movement commends any responsible efforts toward reducing taxation as a valuable endeavor that should persist until we achieve our ultimate objective of responsibly eliminating all forms of taxation.”

“Our Founder, Attorney Marc J. Victor, has been working on a detailed book explaining the Live and Let Live Philosophy in detail. The book is a deep
dive into the philosophy including applying it to many different current issues and explaining how to both implement it and transition our world to one compatible
with the philosophy. The book will be available soon, and all profits will benefit the Live and Let Live Movement. You can preorder the book here.”
