Who am I?

According to this poll, I am a social liberal, an economic liberal, and best described as (drum roll) a socialist. According to them, I "...exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness." When I clicked on Famous People, my icon was very close to Barack Obama, but exactly on Hillary Clinton. According to their interpretation of political ideologies, mine was right on the edge of the socialist area, bordering on Democrat.

This was an interesting quiz in that it focused on, as they put it, "fundamental values" and "avoided the edgy party issues."

If you're offended by the Socialist label, please think again. Just like chocolate and coffee, all in moderation. Here's their explanation:

For example, on the economic axis, a highly permissive system, like the American system of the early 1900s, might mean things like low taxes and increased scientific innovation. It might also result, as it did back then, in unrestricted child labor and millions of poor people with black lung. At the other end of the economic spectrum, a highly regulated system might conserve the environment, establish national health care, and eliminate poverty. But as we've learned from the Soviet system, extreme regulation can also lead to stagnation, sameness, and unhappiness.

In other words, balance is key. We in the U.S. of A. have high standards for government services and regulations, but we pay for those through our tax system. We are constantly looking for the perfect balance, and never quite finding it. That's a large part of why I find all things political evolving and fascinating.
