I figured I'd give my answers like everyone else did... I'm slightly less liberal now because of a point Theo made and the fact that I completely missed one of the questions before
I guess I'm only as socially permissive as Pixie...
Censorship (*BLEEP* No!!!) =0
Death Penalty (Used to be on the fence. I fell off on the side of life) =0
Existence of Government (unfortunately we need it... might as well make the best of it) =1
Foreign Intervention (when we're asked by the countries involved and when it's for good and when it's affordable; more diplomacy and trade, less war)=.5
Gun Control (If I wanted one, you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands) =0
Immigration Laws (No. Risky I guess. But I think they're immoral and hypocritical) =0
Marriage Regulation (I originally said No, but Theo pointed out the necessity of holding fathers to their responsibilities) =.5
Selective Service (I threw out my draft card the moment I got it) =0
Suspension of the Constitution (NoNoNo. Never) =0
The War on Drugs (Whoever started this wacky policy was smoking crack!) =0
Tally up: 80% socially permissive... Maybe I should rethink my stance on government... Oh well.
Central Banking (I guess) =.5
Deficit Spending (BS) =0
Government Control of the Currency (hate to say it, but it's necessary for stability) =1
Government Welfare and Aid (yes, but let's not go overboard) =.5
Income Tax (yes, but let's not go overboard) =.5
Minimum Wage (it's pointless) =0
Nationalizing Health Care (Tempting... but no) =0
Nationalizing Property (Are you kidding?) =0
Progressive Income Tax (if it worked maybe... but it doesn't so no) =0
Social Security (yes, but I want to fix it, maybe privatize it... but definitely yes) =1
65% fiscally permissive... I got that one right the first time. Yay!
So I guess I'm still a liberal libertarian or a libertarian liberal despite my clerical errors?
My score is 50% permissiveness on both fiscal and non-fiscal issues, putting me exactly in the center. I appreciate all replies. Thank you very much.[/quote]
