^^^^

That's an interesting response to an attempt at reaching middle ground. Considering you seem to attack, literally, everything I am posting recently, I can only interpret this statement within your wider pattern of belligerence. Your actions have now crossed into the realm of the absurd.

Well... the thing is that usually when a person is thinking of "non-interventionist" they aren't thinking of highly specific changes in the tax structure, but rather they are thinking about broader issues, like "I think corporate taxes should be reduced", "I think the tax code should be flatter", "I advocate reduced spending", "I advocate deregulating a number of industries", "I advocate privatizing a number of industries". The changes you advocate tell me almost nothing about how you are politically non-interventionist because anybody can advocate highly specific changes like that, especially given that the net result is going to be almost neutral on tax revenue.

That being said, read me however you want, because that's what you are going to do anyway.

I have only one broad economic policy 'I think all broad fix all economic policies are terrible'.

Well, this is kind of middle ground for me.(at least on here). So, I think that Nigel Farage is typically the Churchill of British modern politics, meaning he is typically the sort of war cabinet leader we have owing to cryptic and civil unrest on our islands and shores. Of course, he is very good with numbers, and was once a broker.
Can you trust a man who was once a broker? :roll: maybe.. the answer should be yes.

I am fiscal conservative
almost Libertarian in some ways
Traditionalist for child rearing/family unit with or without a religion involved
Constitutionalist FIRST
I am progressive but not liberal on social policy and warm to them if efficient plan to fund them could be created
But in the end if I had to choose, I rather be charitable in my own neighborhood and risk a few falling thru cracks than bigger more powerful central govt (ours is already too big)

I chose conservative since it is party structure that hits the most points.

To the OP. Include at least one more choice. Make a box for libertarian.

Libertarian here, is like middle of the road for fiscal studies, not evolutionary statistics. The thought that that there would be any debate for a mid rise sanction on rebates through the fiscal studies of the left, means that our central government has lost its power to govern home economics effectively.

None of the above options. I can no longer put myself inside any label. I am slightly middle-road/live and let be on abortion, sexuality, and drugs (but I'm personally anti-drugs), I'm right-wing on national and immigration issues, and I support clean energies. I live in the USA.

Not from this planet, no label. All possibilities suck because it's not the systems that suck it's the use of it, and humans are materially unable to behave without being monitored. And saying while not exactly being a government dreamer.

I was center right with libertarian leanings, as-well as a staunch critic of religion and Atheism plus types from late 2012 until April 2014, then I became a Conservative Libertarian and an ardent Ron Paul and Austrian Economics (in the Von Mises and Rothbardian tradition) supporter until October 2015.

Since then, I'm now a right wing independent with many non-conformist and exclusively non-partisan viewpoints, as-well as a notorious hatred for ideological groupthink, collectivism (including Randian Objectivism) and collective identity movements. "Conventional economics" (inc the Austrian vs Keynesian Hegelian dialectic) is nothing but a horrendous scam and the Bradbury Pound (debt and interest free currency) I believe is the solution.

**Political **Euro Rants** ON**

To cross check common U.K /E.U stats

Northern Ireland is part of our own ruling.
Southern Ireland has it's own laws but remains part of the E.U.

Ruled over by sovereignty, they required bailout funding when it seemed apparent they were going bankrupt over high interest rates a few years ago. I’m glad we no longer have to bail out Ireland for its registration and membership into the E.U as well as Portugal, Greece, Spain, and Cyprus. The Euro is down constantly.

The European monetary fund or Sovereign fund as it is known, relies on all its strength from capital and R.O.I (Rep of Ireland) had used up all their precautionary credit line by 2013 with a debt of 91 billion. They left this bailout programme, after it was clear they were too great in debt from borrowing off the credit line.

We were Irelands main creditor, so now we must add them to our growing debt too. They have until 2042 to pay us back the money that was credited from us, it's just an on-going thing. They need the Euro now, we don't.

Merkel was and still is, a poor debt chancellor and IMF sympathiser who granted these nations their own bailout lines to formulate credit plans that have ruined ruling sovereign states like England and Wales.
She had her way then, and may have her way now.
Unless the German elections next year, hold her out of the running.
People say we can’t get no worse than Corbyn, think again..

Anything left of center would be considered liberal, anything of the right of center would be conservative.

After the damage is done, there are no more cross-roads.
