The Tao Te Ching was libertarian like 2,500 years before libertarianism became a thing.

Chapter 75: Stephen Mitchell translation:

When taxes are too high,

people go hungry.

When the government is too intrusive,

people lose their spirit.

Act for the people's benefit.

Trust them; leave them alone.

Pure Wisdom

Lao Tzu message is clear: excessive control and taxation crush the human spirit. A true leader trusts their people and steps back, letting them thrive. 2,500 years later, this wisdom remains as relevant as ever.
