7. Left/Libertarian
I'm -4.25 economic left, -5.18 libertarian. I suspect I have been libertarian for a long time but left of center economically only in recent years as I have seen the business community given an inch take a few gazillion miles in recent years.

16. hm, according to the one here:
i fall exactly on the border of two political philosophies...

LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

23. I'm right there with Gandhi
My dot is just a little more down toward the libertarian end.

Economic left/right -5.00

Social libertarian/authoritarian -6.56

Took the other test and, surprise!, I'm a "Liberal". The dot falls right between the "L" and "e" on "Left."
