(1) Re: John Edwards railing against Wal-Mart for not paying it's workers' health care.
It seems to me that the issue here is with the socialized medicine
issue. Wal-Mart isn't taxing me to pay for these people's health care -
the government is. All Wal-Mart is doing is making use of the system.
Seems to me that gaming the system is the essence of capitalism.
(2) Libertarianism
I'm having some moral issues with the fact that, at the local level, it
seems like Libertarian philosophy can run counter to community
self-determination. So, I'm thinking that perhaps Anti-Federalism might
be the way to go. You get the strict constructionist and strong states'
rights view, while still allowing local comminities the freedom to do
things like make schools and roads. However, the Wikipedia entry leads one to the Democratic-Republican Party entry, and I think THAT might be the way to go. So, I'm thinking I'm going to
start identifying myself as a Jeffersonian…
