5) Education is so important that we should spend whatever is necessary to improve it.

6) Abortion is a woman's choice and should be legal.

7) America should not become involved with conflicts other countries have with themselves.

8) Big companies such as Ford, Disney and Coca Cola should be strictly regulated so they don't get too powerful.

9) The government should provide welfare for those who can't find work.

10) Even in the case of murder the death penalty is never an appropriate punishment.

11) The US government should provide health care for all US citizens.

Generally, if your score is between 15 and 45 your views would be more similar to a Republican. If your score is above 45 then you would probably best identify with a Democrat. The closer your score is to 15 the more conservative you are. The closer your score is to 75 the more liberal you are. Scores between 40 and 50 would make you moderate in your beliefs.

If your score was below 15 or above 75 you need to read the directions again.
