| I don't know for sure, but I think it's a version of the classic right-wing liberal idea that the state, especially the socialist/left-wing idea of the state, interferes with people's lives and freedoms - by taxing them too much and by regulating society. Taxation being the more important of the two, obviously. This was the view espoused by Reagan and Thatcher during the eighties, and it's also the kind of thing which libertarians believe. Obviously this doesn't really equate to there being a lack of government at all, and it's riddled with hypocrisies, but then again what political philosophy isn't in practice... |
