Subject: RE: BS: A Small Start But Significant, US Election
LH, how one considers the concept of "freedom" will determine how one decides who is a moderate and who isn't, if we use your definition. For instance, a libertarian will see any taxes at all as being an infringement on their freedom. But if we don't pay taxes for roads, that libertarian will not have the freedom to drive their car on any roads at all without paying a toll to the owner of the road. Would anyone other than the libertarian in question consider this position to be a "moderate" one?
