Political Party Characteristics

The political party that I identify with the most is the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party believes that the Federal government should be more involved in assisting with welfare programs for the needy. Furthermore, the federal government should be more involved in regulating and protecting our environment. Just as I feel, Democrats believe that there should be economic equality among the countries citizens. Moreover, democratic are working towards expanding social security, increasing the federal minimum wage, and expanding education just to name a few goals of the Democratic Party concerning their economic policy. Their social policy is that voting rights should be upheld, same sex marriages should have the same rights as traditional marriages, and improve privacy laws to reduce government surveillance on its citizens.Moreover, their goals include the equal rights of individuals with disabilities, promoting arts and culture, taking better care
of our veterans and troops, and military families.

The political ideology I fall into after taking the second quiz is liberalism.
It was surprising that I fall within just fifteen percent of the population whom feel the same as I do. According to the quiz, the people that fall into this percentage believe that there should be a social safety net and are often very optimistic about the state of the country. Liberals feel that good diplomatic approaches over strong military action to resolve conflict. I generally agree with liberalism and do feel that whichever political party is in office feel optimistic about the future of the country. Liberalism is most popularly known as holding a philosophy that the government should be more geared as a welfare state. Additionally, liberals believe that the education system should be improved and equal for all students. Furthermore, liberals do not hold the belief that it is necessary for individuals to believe in god in order to hold moral and ethical standards therefore believe that religion and government should be
separate.

I have to admit that I'm not active person when it comes to being involved with politics and will generally offer no opinion on my personal theories or even which political party I identify with. This is simply because I have never really thought about it before. After taking the two quizzes which made me really have to think about it, now I understand where I stand politically. I feel that the government should regulate big corporations more, corporations should pay more taxes while cutting tax rates for low, middle class citizens and small businesses. Additionally, I feel that every individual has the right to get married if they choose regardless of sex. I believe that women have a right to choose what to do with their bodies. Government should be more involved with ensuring that its citizens have access to health care and resources that assist them in living a decent life. Finally, I believe that the federal government should be more involved with social and economic issues of our country to ensure that all individuals are treated equally.
