The Politics Test

[steelish]

Your true political self:

You are a

Social Liberal
(60% permissive)

and an...

Economic Conservative
(70% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Libertarian


You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.


Higher permissiveness, on either axis, indicates a "live and let live" philosophy. Of course, we're almost conditioned in America, "Land of the Free", to think positively of such a philosophy. But practically speaking, permissiviness (or its opposite, regulation) can create any number of outcomes:

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.

If you liked the test, forward it. Thanks for participating.

You really think that people today will ever stand for anything like that era?

You really think that people today will ever stand for anything like that era?

Absolutely not. I simply copied and pasted EVERYTHING that resulted from my test.

Besides, it seems as if this test is a bit off. No matter what your label ends up being..."you exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness."

I was kind of referring to; "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.", with my comment.
I would hope your answer would remain the same.

Yes. I knew what you were referring to...and yes, my answer remains the same. We (and technology) have move way beyond the the horrors of the early 1900s.
