I see the overwhelming majority of members are libertarian in their social views with a significant minority translating their libertarianism into right wing economics. I'd have to say that the latter is a well intentioned but misguided expression of personal freedom.
If I had taken this quiz in my earlier days I would have been on the lower right side of the graph, but as I age I increasingly see that pure economic freedom only benefits society in theory. The power of the market is real and needs to be exercised. But the power of the state needs to be used to regulate its inevitable dis-economies and unintended negative consequences.
I'm -6.25 on the economic spectrum and -4.46 on the social.
