I wonder what that "card" looks like.:-) But let me do some cutting and
pasting once, to quote someone, who unlike yourself, was not confused
about
which is who and what is where. You may find there some examples of the
"laissez-faire" and "libertarian" terms' proper use in a sentence.

Also we can now see the mendacity of the common claim that private
commercial banks are "inflation hawks" or that Central Banks are eternally
guarding the pass against inflation. Instead, they are all jointly the
inflation-creators, and the only inflation-creators, in the economy.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Throughout the first century of the Republic, the party favoring a Central
Bank, first the Hamiltonian High Federalists, then the Whigs and then the
Republicans, was the party of Big Central Government, of a large public
debt, of high protective tariffs, of large-scale public works, and of
subsidies to large businesses in that early version of "partner****p
between
government and industry/' Protective tariffs were to subsidize domestic
manufactures, while paper money, fractional reserve banking, and Central
Banking were all advocated by the nationalists as part of a comprehensive
policy of inflation and cheap credit in order to benefit favored
businesses.
These favorites were firms and industries that were part of the financial
elite, centered from the beginning through the Civil War in Philadelphia
and
New York, with New York assuming first place after the end of that war.
Ranged against this powerful group of nationalists was an equally powerful
movement dedicated to laissez-faire, free markets, free trade,
ultra-minimal
and decentralized government, and, in the monetary sphere, a hard-money
system based squarely on gold and silver, with banks shorn of all special
privileges and hopefully confined to 100-percent specie banking. These
hard-money libertarians made up the heart and soul of the Jeffersonian
Democratic-Republican and then the Jacksonian Democratic Party and their
potential constituents permeated every occupation except those of banker
and
the banker's favored elite clientele.
