Political Quiz Part 2
Yes, I took the test too. I landed just about where I thought I would. I was sorely tempted to select maybe all the way down. In absolute terms it was hard to agree or disagree with any of the statements. For instance this question: End "corporate welfare." No government handouts to businessI agree; large bail-outs for mismanaged corporations is bad policy and I am not a big fan of subsidies, no-bid contracts, nepotism, cronyism or any other ism that applies to wasteful spending by my government. BUT... "Handouts" to help people start a small bushiness is not necessarily a bad thing. So... Agree? yes. Well... no. Maybe????? So I selected maybe all the way down reflecting my subtle understanding about shades of grey. I am a dead center centrist... I am also a Statist, Centrist or Libertarian depending on which convictions I deemed black or white. Hmm. So where does that leave me? I'll go with the results from my first go at it and say I'm moderate libritarian. What really struck me about this test were the results from everyone else: 33.07% Centrist, 32.83% Libritarian, 17.57% Liberal, 8.62% Conservative and 7.9% Statist. Why do I find this intresting? Our two party system represents a paltry 26.19% of us. Further, I find it odd that 32.83% are Centrist and 32.83% are libritarian. Does that represent the middle of the road American? It represents 65.9% of the people who took the test... |
