red blue
so am i a liberal or a conservative? let's see. on the social safety net (red): i think we have way too much. on taxes (wash): i'm split. taxes are too low for the poor. they're zero. should be a painless token. too high for the middle class. too low for the rich and way way too low for the super rich. on role of government (blue): homeland security is way way too intrusive. business regulation is about right but needs to be shuffled around. more for banks and polluters. less for everyone else. on racial discrimination (red): i fucking hate seeing the race card played. on america's future (red): we should be less like europe. on ideals (wash): i'm not real big on the us-vs-them conservative mentality. yet i'm not real big on the everyone's-a-winner liberal position either. grand total: red by two. cool. i'm a conservative. so why do i generally vote blue? probably because the red candidates aren't like me at all. and aren't going to make my world more red. sigh.
