Are we all left-tards here?

Come on now.  Are we?  While I myself wouldn't look for bible-thumping republicans, I think we should at least have a few moderates or radicals like libertarians ETC... 

Or is it the disproportionate european population here?

While they hate big government, they'd definately do something to counteract big business power

I'm interested to know how you'd do this without a large government. For example, a lack of a social safety net gives corporations far more power when bargaining. If you don't have some form of universal medicare, insurance companies will wield greater power over people. No education? The uneducated are easier to manipulate. And so forth.

Power fills a vacuum.
