Explain personal freedom when the gov't taxes you more to pay for freebies to people that wont work...ala socialized medicine, welfare, etc. The sort of things that have bankrupted California and New York...

Yeah, it's called compromise, hence why there's two axes.

Poor people in NY and California are so overtaxed (god, the horror) that they can choose to keep their limbs and organs in an accident, and smart, educated people can not work immediate shit jobs if they get downsized by their company.

There's a limit to how much personal interest and liberty can be upheld before they get in the way of keeping people alive.

Well maybe the term white supremcist was the wrong word to use I don't actually think that whites are supperior I just like calling blacks out on their BS.

This poll is so America-biased.

EDIT: What the hell, here's my position.

Even though I dislike labels, I think I can best be described as a social liberal. I believe that the individual is the most important factor in the world; I dislike socialism because it reduced the individual to a member of an arbitrary class member, and neo-liberalism because it reduces the individual to a consumer being forced to take what every the corporations feeds it. I am a follower of John Rawls, who argued that social and economic inequality is only acceptable as long as it favours the weakest individuals in the society. I hold social and economic justice to be just as important as juridical justice, and believe in a complete equality of opportunity for all members of society. Furthermore, I dislike the current trend of materialism. It seems like people think that standard of living and quality of living is the same thing, it's not. Society must allow and strive for people to achieve self-fulfillment and a higher cultural awareness. I step in this is to reduce the number of work hours per year and allow a greater room for cultural activity. Culture as a whole needs more attention and funds from the government.

I don't give myself a label, nor should you. Both sides are ****ed up in their own way.
