In yet another proof of the socialists’ reflex to control other people’s lives European socialists’ president Poul Nyrup Rasmussen made an unprecedented move in lecturing the successful liberal government of Estonia by suggesting them to waste more tax payers’ money and trying to prevent Estonia to join the Eurozone.

Ok, why i’m liberal?

Firstly - because i believe that there is no development without freedom. That’s the most important thing in the liberalism. I believe that people should be free not only because it’s effective in economy etc., but mainly because it’s fair.

Secondly - I’m against welfare state, etatism, and bureaucracy. We don’t need social benefits - what we really need is economic freedom, low taxes and less influence of state in our own life.

Thirdly - the freedom of speech and freedom of thought are sacred and political corectness mustn’t be a justification of restriction our freedom of speech.

Liberalism FTW!
