Reasons for your political views

[barfbag]

I've always been one to support the option I think is best for the country. You'll find I have views all over the political spectrum and prefer pragmatism over partisanship. I believe things are best when the government is limited to how much it can infringe in the free market economy. I myself am socially conservative but politically I'm very centrist. When it comes to overseas I don't feel it's right for us to get involved in other the business of other countries unless it's in our best interest.

At this piont my own political views all have various reasoning behind them.  I've kinda given up on trying to put my views into a neat ideological box.  Instead I've adopted a really great rule:

Progress, not perfection.

What is progress though? One might view it different from another.

For me, its mostly my belief in individualism. That can actually explain almost every one of my political viewpoints.

If I may add to that, I also believe that every individual gets the merit and reward that they work for. That's why I am strongly against income redistribution.

Yeah, that is a nice but fanciful notion. You would be surprised at how much of what 'we' deem success boils down to luck, timing and being successful at playing office politics.

Deemed for bad reasons though.
