I'm pretty simple.

Mixing capitalism with morality is very, very wrong.

As such, I believe that the Government should exist to provide society with vital services that the private sector cannot possibly deliver with any sort of morality. These include education, healthcare, insurance, emergency services, national defense, foreign policy/trade negotiation, civil law enforcement, transportation systems and environmental protection.

I believe that corporations must be held accountable to the society in which they are doing business in. At the same time, they must be allowed to pursue their interests to the fullest of their potential within the confines of defined limits (environmental, labor, safety, etc).

I also believe that individuals should need to prove themselves able to accept the responsibility of certain privileges. Namely, the right to vote. Service to society for a defined term would be one way of enacting this. No one should be able to vote without proving themselves worthy. That said, the other rights and freedoms must be protected for all members of society.

I'm pretty sure I'm something of a socialist-fascist with fiscal conservative leanings.
