|
American’s similar answerNo, only for criminals and the mentally ill |
||
Similar answerNo |
||
Republicans’ similar answerNo, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law |

||
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare

Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
Agree | me Your answerYes, and it should become a very heavily regulated industry. Let it be cheaper for the crack addict to go to his local pharmacy to get his fix, but tax it to the point that it's only barely cheaper. The primary reason the illegal drug trade is so massively profitable is because it is forbidden, as soon as it becomes legitimized it becomes much easier to follow the trade routes to keep it from funding organized crime and terrorism. |

||
Disagree | DisagreeDecrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs |

|
Similar answerYes |
||
Similar answerYes, but scale back our current involvement |
||
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
Education › Common Core
Agree | me Your answerYes, I support the concept but not the current implementation |
|
Transhumanist’s similar answerYes, national standards will help improve our national average and better prepare students for college |
||
Forward’s similar answerYes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation |

||
DisagreeNo, teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing |

Agree | me Your answerYes, but only if landowners are compensated above fair market price, the land is used exclusively for a public project with demonstrable benefits to the community, and only if any other methods of acquiring the land needed have failed. |
|
Peace and Freedom’s similar answerYes, but only if landowners are compensated drastically above fair market price |

||
Forward disagreeYes, but do not waste money removing existing references |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
Agree | me Your answerYes, switch to a multi-member, proportionally selected redistricting system |
|
Similar answerYes |
||
Similar answerYes, gerrymandering gives an unfair advantage to the party in power during redistricting |
||
Disagree | Republicans disagreeNo |

Disagree | DisagreeNo |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
Agree | me Your answerYes, as emergency responders need to be able to reliably communicate with people in the event of an emergency and there are far to many languages in the world for emergency responders to be capable of learning all of them.

||
Similar answerYes, but the government should provide free language learning courses |
||
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
|
Peace and Freedom disagreeNo, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country |

Agree | me Your answerYes, but only as a graduated luxury based tax where basic necessities are not taxed while those things that go beyond basic necessities, or are not a basic necessity at all, are taxed more heavily, as property taxes rates do not reflect the owners ability to pay, in addition to reducing government spending. |
|
Similar answerYes, property taxes rates do not reflect the owners ability to pay |
||
Transhumanist’s similar answerYes, but dramatically reduce government spending instead of raising taxes |
||
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
|
Democrats disagreeNo, but decrease tax rates for senior citizens |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
Agree | me Your answerYes, but only as a coordinated effort by the United Nations |
|
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
|
DisagreeNo, conduct targeted airstrikes instead |
||
DisagreeNo, we should stay out of this conflict |
||

||
Disagree | DisagreeNo |
|
DisagreeNo, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
Agree | me Your answerYes, but only as a means to ensure the continuation of food production, however the tax system needs a greater overhaul as it currently penalizes farmers if they have a secondary source of income to support their farm.

Although we need to step up our military response a formal declaration of war brings ISIS to close to the realm of a sovereign entity which it isn't. |

||
Similar answerNo |
||
Similar answerNo, not until they attack us on U.S. soil |
||
Disagree | DisagreeYes |
|
