An outline of left-libertarianism here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_libertarianism).

As to social safety nets, I remain unconvinced that the government is the best provider of such, but I am certain that the Federal Government should not be involved. Such things should be as close to the people they are helping and extremely limited in scope.

While I think home-owning is a good, I agree that systems should not be distorted to encourage it. Though the current tax code is nothing but a system that tries to force certain kinds of behavior through economic rewards and punishments.

And definitely agreed on your final paragraph.
