That just sounds like a standard progressive liberal (and there's nothing wrong with that). What viewpoints do you consider specifically libertarian?

- scarface74 9y agoI haven't heard liberals talk too much about legalizing all drugs. Clinton in the 90s started the whole tough on crime, 3 strikes you're out, crusade. I am against the minimum wage - I think it skews supply and demand and contorts the free market -- but I do believe in the basic income for people who work in the form of an expansion of the earned income tax credit.
- AsyncAwait 9y agoI don't believe Clinton is a progressive liberal, but most progressives support these policies, as far as I know.
- justadeveloper2 9y agoThe Clintons, as far as I can tell, are some kind of crime family masquerading as career public servants.
- InitialLastName 9y agoEither that or career public servants who have been painted by their opponents as a crime family for decades. In practice, not sure there's a difference. When everybody insists the Emperor's clothes are nice...
- thebooktocome 9y agoCome to Ohio, it's the main plank of the liberal platform here.
- justadeveloper2 9y agoSmall, localized governance. True representative government (no career politicians like the sleaze John McCain and Nancy Pelosi). Strong adherence to property rights. Government not picking winners and losers. Government not accepting bribes (campaign contributions via big-money lobbyists). No corporate welfare--if a bank fucks up, they go out of business and shitbirds like Jamie Dimon get to live under a bridge the rest of their lives and (hopefully) die drunk while OD'ing on heroin. ETA: End to the drug war, non-interventionist foreign policy.
