134. So basically you refute the New Deal
You would prefer to go back to a time of Dickensian poverty where workers have no protections like OSHA and equal opportunity laws, and corporations are unregulated and can pollute the environment at will.

"But I also believe that it's the role of the individual to take care of oneself, not the government."

That would be fine in a perfect society, but this pie in the sky libertarianism can never work in reality.
