I'm liberalish.... Here in the Bay Area I'm seen more as a moderate. When I take political orientation tests I come off more of an anarchist.

Even though my emotional leanings go toward anarchy I'm more of a socialist in practice and thought. Then again, I do see the merits of a modified capitalistic economy. That would be capitalism modified by gentle wealth redistribution that does reward excellence and innovation while allowing "the little guy" to get in and shake up the competition. Add to that a system of effective and temporary social welfare nets. I don't believe keeping someone on government assistance for life is the best thing and I think our current system doesn't do enough to help people out of the hole (I work with it every day.)
