> i interpreted it as being more liberal w/ a small amount of government intervention which is how i feel personally. i want the government to help provide few things but want to live freely. i think i worded that right...
Okay. I'm not picking on you (or anybody else) but... What do you mean 'a small amount of government intervention'?
Roads are a govt intervention...
Public / cheap schools...
Public / cheap healthcare...
Defence
JailsI mean... Without roads... There wouldn't be commerce. People wouldn't even be able to get to work.
So...
Is the issue to do with particular things you think the govt should but out of... Because... Presumably... The libertarians still want roads at the very least... And probably jails... And maybe schools for the disadvantaged children too?
Who knows...
