Policy Goals
The Rio Grande Foundation researches issues of government policy and educates the public on many government reform measures. Some areas of government reform the Foundation advocates are limited taxation and reduced government spending, education reform through school choice by means of tax credits or school vouchers, and the preservation of liberties protected by the United States Constitution, such as supporting the rights of property owners against wanton government seizure (see Takings Clause, Fifth Amendment).

Famous quotes containing the words policy and/or goals:
“We legislate against forestalling and monopoly; we would have a common granary for the poor; but the selfishness which hoards the corn for high prices, is the preventative of famine; and the law of self-preservation is surer policy than any legislation can be.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
