POLL: As an Atheist, What Do You View as Being the Most Rational Political Outlook?

[Jenny A]

I voted for other. The poll compares economic systems, to social philosophies, to political parties. It's apples to jet engines.

I think capitalism is generally the best system because it makes use of people's self interest for the good of all. But I'm not for unregulated free trade. Asymmetrical knowledge, externalities , and the tragedy of the commons all subvert that common good and regulationot is required not only to level the playing field but to protect the environment and make rational trade possible.

Socially I'm generally a libertarian. But businesses should be required to treat all equally productive employees who aren't socially difficult from a behavioral stand point the same.

I've yet to meet my ideal candidate for public office.
