Except I did answer your question.

Financial regulation, when direct and applied to stopping a person from doing something, does limit personal freedom.

When it is taxes, regulations on industry that aren't hard bans on products, and instead forcing them to give information or use certain packaging, and so on, it does not limit personal freedom.

    I consider myself more libertarian than anything else, and find myself very much in support in things like basic income, road building, and so on. I do not support any fiscal regulation on people, such as demanding they cannot make more than X money, or anything else of that sort.
