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:
“The horror of Gandhi’s murder lies not in the political motives behind it or in its consequences for Indian policy or for the future of non-violence; the horror lies simply in the fact that any man could look into the face of this extraordinary person and deliberately pull a trigger.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“We should stop looking to law to provide the final answer.... Law cannot save us from ourselves.... We have to go out and try to accomplish our goals and resolve disagreements by doing what we think is right. That energy and resourcefulness, not millions of legal cubicles, is what was great about America. Let judgment and personal conviction be important again.”
—Philip K. Howard, U.S. lawyer. The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America, pp. 186-87, Random House (1994)
