I'm not taking your dumb survey. But I will say that the role of government should be exactly what the Constitution says it should be. And that's limited. The Constitution reserves most powers to the people and the states.

The role of government is simply to service the people. That's it. Give us protection and organization, and don't you fucking dare tell me what I can and can't do.

1. Would be Republican.
2. 15
3. White
4. Texas
5. Christian (Roman Catholic)
6. It shouldn't change.
7. If I had to choose one, targeted health care. Gov't really shouldn't have such a big role in this one.
8. Somewhere in the middle of this one... I guess if I *had* to choose one I'd say more spending.
9. The gov't intrudes too much in our lives.
10. We shouldn't be taxed any more than we are today.
11. Religious beliefs cannot be banned from government property or law.
12. Only social security.
13. America is good, it could be great if we fix certain problems.
14. I consider myself Conservative.
15. To protect our freedoms and security... Nothing more than this.
16. Probably a 2... Not quite a 3 so I'm leaving it at 2.
