Says I'm a libertarian, seems to fit even though I'm registered as an independent and don't actually consider myself a libertarian. A lot of the idealogy of the libertarian platform makes sense to me though.
Says I am post-Modern but I don't like the binary nature of so many of the questions. I am much older than it says is typical for this group. I don't watch the Daily Show.
A few things I believe in:
- Everyone should pay taxes, even if a pittance. I think it is ludicrous that so many people who pay no taxes have a vote on how to spend money collected from those that do pay taxes.
- The federal government spends too much money on everything, including defense.
- Fewer people should earn a living as government employees. Politicians have too much to gain from satisfying the demands of public workers.
- Marriage should not be a federal government issue.
- The primary purpose of taxes should be to pay for government, not to change the behavior of people or businesses.
- English is this country's language. We should not enact programs that weaken the need for people to speak it.
- Abortion is a crime against mankind and should be disallowed unless the pregnancy was the result of a crime.
- Financial markets have been under regulated for a long time. I continue to not see the economic purpose of derivatives.
- Businesses and individuals should be allowed to fail, whatever the consequences.
- People should be allowed to get fat, but if they do, and suffer health problems as a result, they should have to pay for it.
What They Believe
Generally supportive of government, though more conservative on race policies and the safety net
Strongly supportive of regulation and environmental protection
Most (56%) say Wall Street helps the economy more than it hurts
Very liberal on social issues, including same-sex marriage
One of the least religious groups: nearly a third are unaffiliated with any religious tradition
Favor the use of diplomacy rather than force
Who They Are
The youngest of the typology groups: 32% under age 30
A majority are non-Hispanic white and have at least some college experience
Half live in either the Northeast or the West
A majority (58%) live in the suburbs
63% use social networking
One-in-five regularly listen to NPR; 14% regularly watch The Daily Show
That was fun! Solid liberal, no surprise for me. Kinda weird how they have me pegged, though - post-grad education(we are the best educated group!!), listen to NPR, read the NYT, watch the Daily Show, buy organic, have a passport, etc. The only thing wrong was that I'm in the South, not the NE or West.

I don't think that's right...
