What you are describing are largely Libertarian views, with the exception of the national health care issue. I am hard core Libertarian, holding the view that the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government a very limited set of responsibilities and all others are reserved to the states:
Postal service
Judicial system
Military
Treasury
Elections
Foreign relations (treaties, etc.)
Patent office
Manage DC
etc. You get the idea. The list is short!
I am a pragmatist, however. We do a very poor job of operating an efficient health care system in this country. I'm open to a good suggestion for a better system. I just don't think allowing the government to run it is a good idea.
