I was in total agreement for personal issues and total disagreement for the economic issues except for the first of the latter: “End “corporate welfare.” No government handouts to business”
I scored 100% on personal and 20% on the economics. Very “liberal” as the American term is used. I tried an experiment and voted in agreement for the end corporate welfare. This time, I was considered as “liberal” as one could get. How could voting for continued support for private big business make one more “left” than those who oppose it? This shows that such political quizs are just a spot of fun nd show nothing but the bias of the compilers. Nothing new there of course. It also shows that Americans seem to have a scewed (?) idea of what political “left” and “right” mean in comparison to the same ideas in Europe.

Agreed. That seems odd. I didn’t play around with it. I really don’t take such things. But it was pretty close to accurate for me.
