Which approach to taxes is closest to your view? Keep taxes as low as practical and limit unnecessary government spending. Raise taxes broadly to expand government programs. Tax rates are not an important issue to me. Government should decide tax policy without regard to economic growth.2. Which statement best describes your view of the role of government? Government should have a limited role while protecting individual rights and public safety. Government should manage most major economic and personal decisions. The federal government should replace most state and local decision-making. Government should expand whenever a new social problem appears.3. Which economic policy is closest to your view? Encourage free enterprise, competition, entrepreneurship, and private investment. Government should own or control most major industries. Private businesses should generally require government approval for major decisions. Economic growth should be secondary to expanding government control.4. Which statement is closest to your view on public safety? Communities need effective law enforcement, accountability, and support for constitutional rights. Police departments should generally be eliminated. Public safety should primarily be handled by unarmed civilian organizations. Enforcement of criminal laws should be substantially reduced.5. Which approach to national defense is closest to your view? Maintain a strong military capable of deterring threats and defending U.S. interests. Reduce the military to a minimal force regardless of international threats. Depend primarily on other countries for U.S. security. National defense should receive very little federal attention.6. Which statement best reflects your view on regulation? Regulations should protect the public while avoiding unnecessary burdens on workers and businesses. More regulation is generally better regardless of cost. Government agencies should directly manage most private businesses. Businesses should have little freedom to make independent decisions.7. Which approach to education is closest to your view? Parents should have a strong voice, schools should emphasize academic achievement, and families should have meaningful educational options. Parents should have little influence over school policies. Educational decisions should be made almost entirely by the federal government. School performance should not be measured by academic outcomes.8. Which statement best reflects your view of the Constitution? Constitutional limits, individual liberties, federalism, and separation of powers should guide government. Constitutional limits should be ignored when they make policy difficult. Executive officials should be able to bypass the other branches whenever necessary. States should have almost no independent governing authority.9. Which immigration policy is closest to your view? Enforce immigration laws, secure the border, and maintain an orderly legal immigration system. Immigration laws should generally not be enforced. The United States should have no meaningful border controls. Local and state governments should routinely obstruct lawful federal immigration enforcement.10. Which statement is closest to your overall political philosophy? Individual liberty, personal responsibility, free enterprise, constitutional government, and strong communities are important principles. Government should play the dominant role in directing the economy and individual choices. Political decisions should generally favor centralized federal authority over local control. Expanding government programs should be the first solution to most problems. Suggested scoring for EXAMS Pro: Each A response = 1 point.
