Your political views

RE: Your political views
It all depends on what system of values is correct.

At the moment I'm a centre-right non-authoritarian, Sort of Like a Libertarian, but with a focus on securing assets absolutely necessary for society to function, the so called "backbone industry". The state in my opinion should only control these assets directly, all phone and fibre lines are owned by the government and subcontracted to private companies for installation and maintenance, private companies compete on it. Schools, Healthcare, Police, Law and Order, Roads, Power infrastructure.

The government owns no companies that compete on these systems, private companies would still be doing the majority of the work. It's only real job is to follow the moral theory to a state of affairs of higher positive value than the present by creating policies that tend towards a state of affairs in which more and stronger desires are fulfilled than at present, that is done through preventing risk to the desires of the people and providing them with means to fulfil their desires. And is of a consequentialist attitude, no victimless crime, no dictating what people do with their bodies or minds so long as they are of no consequence to anyone else. It poses that all intentional action is the product of a desire and it is our desires that should bne judged in any legal or moral circumstance - Prisons should focus on moulding the malleable desires of the prisoners to help them to be able to live lives where they are not of negative value to society at large. Critical thinking lessons in all schools from age 5. Business is regulated through a theory of value so that as little case by case variations as possible exist, lessening the potential for corruption.

Tax would be on dollar earned, not dollar spent. Business taxes would be lowered in proportion to a mandatory wage increase. This would be done whenever deemed appropriate.

All the other SOAs get sold.

Government would only recognize marriage as a recognition of intent to share resources..

At least that's my evaluation so far, it's a real bitch to try apply a moral theory to a political reality, so I reserve the right to change my mind Smile
