In this matter Libertarianz sell out in the same way ACT just did.<BR/><BR/>However, the Libertarianz who believe 5 years of statism are old and close to retirement. When they're gone policy will at last match philosophy. Until then one may as well support ACT.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06315796390662297759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1117112647091066432005-05-27T01:04:00.000+12:002005-05-27T01:04:00.000+12:00That's a good point.

Libz want a free society in five years, whie ACT prefer to seek a democratic mandate to take baby-steps to freedom;<BR/><BR/>2. Libz generally believe in a freer society out of objectivist principle, ACT believes in a freer society out of utilitarian principle.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see a flat tax implemented, but a two tier tax cut to 15 and 25 cents is economically more sensible right now and thus easier to sell to the electorate. If we get ACT in government this time around, in three years we will be back at where we were in 1987 and a flat tax will be on the agenda once more.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865567065778234500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1117111007520193122005-05-27T00:36:00.000+12:002005-05-27T00:36:00.000+12:00In Politics it is generally a "damned if you don't...In Politics it is generally a "damned if you don't and damned if you do" situation for every-one. Its just one of those things.<BR/><BR/>Principles aside for just a moment, I have a question for you PC:<BR/><BR/>If the Libz did win, and had a majority, would you implement all of your policies as you stand for them, in the year you were elected, or would they be phased in over several years?ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1117097284560797462005-05-26T20:48:00.000+12:002005-05-26T20:48:00.000+12:00At least we know what a principl is.The Libz...?
