I am pretty sure if the candidates took the test themselves, it would be nothing like the way they have been positioned on the chart. I am pretty sure Ron Paul is more extreme on libritarianism than I am, yet I ended up way down in the middle of that section, while he is way up at the bottom of the authoritarian section. As I mentioned before, the whole thing is European, so American politics really don't seem to fit on it that well, which is the reason why just about every one of the US candidates comes up as a conservative.

that just shows how much of an idiot you are.


Bold words amigo. So seriously, they really don't teach economics in schools anymore? Please Sweeney tell me you were a big fan of playing hookie and you simply couldn't stand economic and so never showed up. Surely it is still deemed as important. If not then I am convinced they are training us to be sheep.

I find it ironic companies like Wal-Mart are evil greedy corporate empires that are making the world a horrible place, while at the same time the poor single mothers who Hilary claims to be supporting probably all shop at Wal-Mart because they can afford it. You know that the even greedy Wal-Mart even gives out scholarships and supports charities. How dare they!

Corporations have to be "greedy" the whole point is to make money. If they are not making money then they are failing, if they are making money then they succeed. When they succeed they provide jobs for you and me, thus improving our lifestyles. Big business is your friend, it is a economic fact. Yes, there should be checks put on them, and laws they have to abide to, not because corporations are evil, but because the people running them are human. Because I am disagreeing with Sweeney the all knowing future Jeopardy champion, I am very likely to be called an idiot for posting this.
