    Left-Liberals prefer self-government in personal matters and central decision-making on economics. They want government to serve the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Leftists tolerate social diversity, but work for economic equality.

    There is some serious bias in this test. First it is run by Libertarians. Answering in positive to all the questions leads to an easy diagnosis of libertarianism. The questions are vague and the conclusions tainted.

    Furthermore there are serious deficiencies in ascribing the term self-government. They define free trade as being of this character when in fact most free trade agreements include requirements than tariffs. So they need to clarify this position. They are also very shaky in the territory of user fees. They might mean tolls such as those that restricted migration earlier in this century something that seems out of character for their motto and in fact in direct opposition to the fifth question of the first set. How else would this be applied to compensate for road work? There is obviously a bankruptcy of even the lowest level of thought in these instances.

    They also do not explain exactly how minimum wage laws cause unemployment. This seems to be an assumed factor. This would have been better stated as "Repeal minimum wage laws." Disregarding that detail who really wants to repeal minimum wage??? It is a fact this standard is insufficient to support most families, so then how could we do with less?Also the first set is full of statements that few would disagree.

    Finally there is the issue of maybe. It doesn't fit well into a system designed to apply bipolar pressures into a political mode. It says nothing of overriding inclinations and often makes little sense in the context. Indeed this test is deeply flawed.

    BTW I am Liberal with 100% of the first set and 40% of the second.

    My score: 100% left liberal


    "Now, there are consistent libertarians, people like Murray Rothbard [American academic]--and if you just read the world that they describe, it's a world so full of hate that no human being would want to live in it. This is a world where you don't have roads because you don't see any reason why you should cooperate in building a road that you're not going to use: if you want a road, you get together with a bunch of other people who are going to use that road and you build it, then you charge people to ride on it. If you don't like the pollution from somebody's automobile, you take them to court and you litigate it. Who would want to live in a world like that? It's a world built on hatred."

    Minimum wage laws cause unemployment

    It is a well known facts of economics that minimum wage laws, to some degree, cause unemployment amongst poorly educated or un-skilled workers.

    The minimum wage is so high, that an unskilled worker's limited productivity would not bring the company any profit (wage higher than productivity - ergo hiring unskilled workers is an expense). Therefore, they would not hire him/her.
