Reply #339: IMHO there's a huge gap between social libertarianism

[Warren DeMontague]

Which I have always taken to be a quintessential "liberal" viewpoint (and another reason why I am constantly disappointed that my party steadfastly refuses to grow cajones on the subject of the drug war) and Big-L Libertarian Party economic viewpoints... like, say, the idea that people shouldn't have to pay taxes, or corporations shouldn't be subject to regulation.

I actually agree with the thread author, although maybe I differ on specifics, that corporate and white-collar criminals are held woefully under-accountable (if held accountable at all.. Ken Lay, helloooo?) ... Likewise it seems obvious to me that one of the worst examples of "up-is-down"-ism in our society is the way that we are granting ever-increasing rights and freedoms to corporations while simultaneously restricting the freedom of individuals.
