I am not apologizing and that's that.

Socialist and heavily leaning on anarchist. I believe the economy should be pretty much dictated (mild hyperbole), and any other matter should be left to individual contract, enforced by the court, and punished by prison time or a fee. The consequences should of course be mentioned in the contract, as individual contract should overrule the court. All laws should be in the form of rights, and inability to preserve another's rights is punishable by law. Also, any individual who can pay taxes and does pay taxes is given all of these rights. For anyone who is considered poor, taxes is a mere penny. Anyone who profoundly rich, it is ten percent. All other incomes are arbitrary. If anything doesn't work it can be modified by a vote proposed to the people.

These are my political beliefs. Yes, I am crazy.

Very liberal, very libertarian on social issues and on economic issues. I believe the government should provide for its people, make sure everyone pays their fair share on taxes and so on. Which means a adequate social safety net, consumer protection, government funding for science and research, infrastructure and so on. I also believe people have the right to bear arms and guns should only be regulated in Public Places or people with criminal records. I also believe in a strong Single-Payer health system and so on. In today's world I would be considered at the left-wing fridges of the U.S Democratic Party but back before 1980 I would be a Mainstream Democrat. Without the government the people would be screwed big time.

Politicians with similar political views. Dwight Eisenhower, Truman, FDR as well as most New Dealers, Abraham Lincoin as well as Thomas Jefferson.

One of my favorite senators right now is Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. A Independent/ Democratic-Socialist who caucuses with the Democrats.

Are you a social democrat or a social liberal do you think? You definitely seem quite left-wing.

If you're going to restate something, please do -not- leave the quote as attributed to someone else. That's poor form, whether in debate or discussion. I have amended that post to reflect the author of the changes to the original. If you have questions, feel free to PM me.

i am blind politically and i do not have a political guide dog.
so i have no political view

what happens then when a pol or party says and/or does something to p!ss you off? something that directly or indirectly cramps your lifestyle? what if a particular political party does something which hurts you somewhere, either in your wallet or elsewhere? these concerns are the roots of having a political preference.

Jefferson was probably much more pro-market than you. Thomas Paine would be a better example of a Founding Father with views similar to yours.

My political views are Imperialistic. In fact I often send a fleet of interstellar battlecruisers, carriers, dreadnoughts, and support frigates to conquer solar systems, bombard enemy planets, and colonize them. I don't care if there is a lot of anti-imperialistic propaganda from the 1970's (in the modern era that is) onward, and movies like Avatar and Outlander, Romulans are still awesome!! !
