Anyway, I support a technocratic government with a socialist economy. A government run by the knowledgeable, with income redistributed to promote social equality.
Led by the principle: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their contribution." As well as, equal opportunity for all. This begins with education.
It's funny, there are countries out there run like that. For some reason they keep getting bombed and attacked and stuff.... by the US. Why is it we hate real human equality.

As it stands, I support the free-market economic system because from experience, it stands as the most successful one in all of history, but nothing is perfect however. So I support more privatization of business, with additional welfare plans and consumer protection, even though I am not totally sure yet what all of consumer protection entails.
Socially, I lean progressive, but I also oppose abortion except in the cases of rape, incest or danger; I support gays in uniform; I also support the 2nd amendment and immigration standards. But, I also don't think the FCC should have any control over content and I support looser pornography laws. I don't believe in sex after marriage, either.
Your all deluded with issues that don't really matter like abortion, gays, fcc, porno and so forth. There are reason they talk about that shit, to get us distracted and not think about real issues that effect all of humanity. It is to incite fear and the unknown into people so they become scared, and when a person is scared, it is easier to act irrationally. If you support abortion laws you support the control of the free will of another human being by a government entity.
Wake up.
