Why would a party that professes to be of the libertarian right want to know where anybody earned there money and then question how they spent it, if it was indeed on what those very people considered "good causes"
Thats counter intuiative at least and idiotic mostly.
I wonder if they consider philanthrophy as do-gooding
As far as earning it goes, the rule of law is a fundamental principle of libertarianism.
As for spending it, then parties that support higher taxation are clearly the ones by definition who want to control what we spend our money on, by taking more of our money off us and spending it on our behalf.

Yes I know it wasn't but that is why I am interested in exploring the limits and implications of the statement, because they don't seem to have been thought through at all.
If it is up to McD's whether they allow people to speak in welsh or Cornish why isn't it up to the council to let people speak in polish or punjabi? After all, there are probably more native polish speakers in England than there are native welsh speakers.
It's the difference between private enterprise and taxpayer funded public services.
