      yes, and it’s not libertarianism.

      a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

      food stamps, anti-discrimination laws and anti-pollution laws are all a big fucking no-no for libertarians.

        Ok it helps when you read what I wrote not what you want me to have written.

        For the individual I want as much freedom as we can give them. Everything above that I want regulated and I want welfare programs.

          Okay, so you are a leftist, like me. In fact, you might just be a socialist, or even a communist.

            My economic beliefs are: if it works do it, if it doesn’t do not. I don’t trust ideology and I don’t trust economists. Food Stamps work in that people don’t generally starve anymore, the free market works for video games in that people generally can buymore than they would ever hope to play.

            Only do things that work.
