I've never understood the American stand point that all government intervention is presumably bad a priori.

I've never understood the American stand point that all government intervention is presumably bad a priori.
- baddox 13y agoThat is far from "the American stand point." Most Americans ridiculed the moderately libertarian policies of Republican candidate Ron Paul. Even the broad ideas of fiscal conservatism and low corporate taxes is mocked by one major party and usually only given lip service by the other. The Libertarian Party, despite being the third largest party in the US, is at best a joke to the vast majority of Americans. And on top of that, the view that all government intervention is bad would be considered extreme even among these candidates.
