- But the fact that our country's libertarian movement spent so much time fighting high taxes and so little time fighting the encroaching authoritarianism of conservative presidential administrations was a clear sign that some priorities were seriously out of place. Should we really be more afraid of turning into Sweden than turning into Singapore?
Very good quote, though my devil's advocate would counter that poor financial practices screw over the government's money supply for many generations down the road. Being passive with regards to civil liberties does suck, but it doesn't leave you with a couple trillion dollars of debt to pay off afterwards.
