| BFR said: Are you kidding me, Ron Paul is about as Libertarian as they come |
Again, the Libertarian party is not what that the Political compass is trying to convey.
> financing government operations would be primarily by excise taxes and non-protectionist tariffs. He endorses eliminating most federal government agencies, terming them unnecessary bureaucracies
>Paul endorses increased border security
There's still a lot more room for him to be more "libertarian"
| BFR said: He should be much "lower" on this map. |
| BFR said: That's why I call BS on these maps. Whoever came up with them is chock full of BS. |
Again, what I wrote a few pages ago:
| the-pi-guy said: The political compass has absolutely nothing to do with US political parties. The concept of the compass is potentially problematic. I think it's difficult to assign a singular score to anything as complex as political viewpoints. Two people could score similarly while having opposite viewpoints; they could just both swap left and right wing takes. The test is also problematic, because you get questions like if you have a government should it be doing things that help people? You might answer that question completely differently from "do you want a government that helps people?" - because you don't want any government. |
