Independent

Everyone always assumes that people from Texas are die hard republicans. Though for some reason they always forget that the capital city Austin is a thriving democratic community. Myself I was raised in a nice suburban neighborhood located in Southwest Austin called Circle C. I was fortunate enough to have a liberal mother and a republican father; which gave me mixed views on everything. Politically I associate with 13% of the public with a typology group of post-modern. I am not positive I agree with that verdict since it was determined by an online quiz. On the quiz the statements to choose from were so generic and polar opposite that it did not allow for the quiz to determine the tester's true opinion. For example on question nine I had to choose between the following statements,"Poor people today have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return," or "Poor people have hard lives because government benefits don't go far enough to help them live decently." I choose the first statement because I know some people who take advantage of our governments benefit packages. I do not feel as though the poor have it easy. I believe our nation makes it too easy for someone to present themselves as poor or needy. Enabling the masses to take advantage of government benefits. I also believe that big business is bad. Though after taking Economics I understand that though big businesses are corrupt they do enable our economy to function correctly. I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. Presently, there are many different interpretations various religious beliefs. The last thing I believe our nation needs to do is create laws and govern its citizens based off of a really old book. Those are a few of my political opinions. As for my party affiliation I like to consider myself an Independent.
