Politics

It's been a while since we've done this and since it's a subject that seems to crop up in the most unlikely of places. I think it's a good idea to understand each others beliefs. I have not added a poll because I think politics is more in depth than a binary left wing, right wing selection.

I personally would consider myself economically right wing but as far as social politics go - left wing.

I do not believe the government has any right to redistribute wealth on such a scale and at the same time they have no right to tell people where they can live/immigrate and what toxins they put into their own body.

So in short I think the government should do little more than uphold necessary laws. Wikipedia seems to have labelled this ideology as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minarchism. Although I would also support laws protecting the environment for future generations.

So yeah, let the battle begin. Seriously though, lets keep discussion rational.
