      :lol: Very little. I’d have scored further in that direction except…..”free market” has become code for importing vast amounts of Chinese trash and exporting jobs.

        Yup,though I think a lot of that is because of idiot politicians giving away the store.

          For sure—but they’d use the number who scored that way to justify giving even more of the store away, ja?
          Anyway, I scored high on social freedom. :cool: Mostly because I don’t believe what I choose to ingest or inhale is any of the government’s damn business.

            I’m LDP with a 10 score in economic freedom and 7 on social freedom.

            The only thing is I’m NOT used to being called a “liberal” :mrgreen:

            Yup,I am always frustrated by the questions.No option to take a reasoned position,just the ones they throw out.

            My state had several bills come up proposing to legalize pot.Okay,fine I say,but none of the bills made any sense(probably written by pot heads).

            I answered several polls on the subject and none really had questions that fit my answer,except for one where they asked a question and left the reply to the respondent.

            My reply was simple,allow people to have pot and smoke pot,but not sell it.

    Right :!: A liberal in Australia is a conservative in America.

    Actually the Australian definition is more accurate because a traditional liberal of the 19th century variety would be a 21st century American conservative.
