A fan of Murray Rothbard, she shares his disbelief in intellectual property. She believes that the best social safety net is "the vast and amazing web of transactions and interdependencies of the marketplace, where even the weakest and least skilled have something of value to contribute." [http://mises.org/story/2802] She has said in the past that the Libertarian Party should stop acting like the dissident wing of the Republican Party and instead promote its own positive message.
