Recently I made a startling discovery. Somewhere in the middle on most policy issues, I’m also firmly committed to values like political equality (one person, one vote) and the freedom of speech. But how, I wondered, could I take a Goldilocks approach to taxation (the tax burden shouldn’t be too big or too small, but just right), and at the same time go all-in on referenda and the freedom of speech? Then, all at once, the truth hit me: I am a fundamentalist – a fundamentalist liberal democrat.
