66 here.

I'm most libertarian in the sense that I don't like the governement regulating what we want to put in our bodies, and I don't like the government trying to legislate morality. Taxes are definitely too high, but shouldn't be eliminated totally. Most govt. spending problems could be fixed by massively cutting waste.

I scored a 90, teetering right on the cusp of being a hard core libertarian

I don't agree with privatizing the court system or the police......there would be too much room for corruption.

I do wish the test would have substituted abolish all govt. to most federal govt.

I'm Libertarian on a federal level. I would probably score different if it was on the state or local level. I have no problems with things like welfare, social security, etc. They just need to be done by private organizations instead of the government.

16, apparently I'm just barely a "soft-core libertarian," but whatever. Also apparently I'm the least libertarian, but I don't think it's fair because all the questions were mostly either economic or just ridiculous (removing worker safety regulations, privatizing the police, etc.)

Exactly. The more complex the problem, the more local the government needs to be involved to solve it, if at all.

I forgot to mention our school system. It needs to be turned over to the states. Maybe even the separate counties.

I still think I would probably be considered Libertarian-leaning though on the state level even. I see no reason for drug use, prostitution, etc, to be illegal. The whole "protect people from themselves" thing is crazy to me.
