[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

Not picking on anyone, but just a thought I have everytime I run accross one of these polls/quiz...

Does the average person actually read the question, think about the consequences pro/con of the statement/question, and then answer...

Or... do they just go with their "emotional" choice, without much thought at all ???

[George A. H. Luck]

I'm in good company!

[Russell J. Hensel]

Jeffrey- Do i Sit there and THINK about each and every question and its consequences. My answer is NOPE. I know how I feel and what I believe. If someone were to ask "Russell, Do you love your parents?". I do not have to sit there and think of the consequences and what might or might not be. The answer plain and simple is YES...no need to dilly dally around. When you sit and question what you believe then you really do not BELIEVE it. I believe in a small goverment...people might say then....what about all that the goverment does for you....Hmmmmmm I am 41 with no kids...I pay $8 in road tolls every single day. I am not on welfare. So I personally need a small goverment.

So my answer to your question in "No I do not over analyze what my heart believes, because I feel if you question it, then do you really don't BELIEVE it!

[Randy D. Stufflebeem]

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 60%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 90%.

A couple added and important questions could be added and I know a couple peoples score would change, including mine!

I don't know about the average person but I have strong and well thought-out stances on most of those issues. A couple of those question were too vague for me to answer though ...

Replace government welfare with private charity
I believe that the government shouldn't be handing out money to "the unfortunate" in a majority of situations it does but I believe there are programs such as unemployment benefits (strictly job training and a short period of unemployment pay) that I think are vital that I could see the private sector royally f**king up like they have with financing health care.

Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more
Way too simplistic. I know there is a ton of waste in government spending and would love to have a lean and efficient government but to think that cutting taxes by some arbitrary number will accomplish that is wishful thinking at its worst. Local, state and federal politicians time and time again have cut deep into vital services to preserve pet projects while maintaining excessive beaurocracy. Our education system is a perfect example of that.

I believe that most on this MB is "above average" in our thought proceses(considering our profession). I would be willing to bet that most "average" people do not have indepth factual information/knowledge to base their decisions upon. Many people I speak with tend to base their decisoins on rumors or hearsay, usually influenced by friends and family, thus this is how they decide how they "feel". When asked, most people would agree that they want less goverment involvement in their lives. But, how many of those same people really understand what that would mean? What they would be giving up. I believe a major portion of todays Society could not handle or cope with a minimalistic goverment (as an example). Don't get me wrong. I am not for big goverment. But I am realistic enough to understand it is a necessary evil, created by todays society.
