This is neat

Well, Gary has some pretty deplorable stances.

-abolish corporate tax
-eliminate federal wage standards
-offshore bank accounts
-government shouldn't be involved in health care
-coporations (Super PACs) allowed to donate to candidates
-raise social security retirement age
-expand offshore drilling
-solitary confinement for juveniles
-no environmental regulations to prevent climate change (this is the deal breaker for me)

Yeah, screw this guy.

# of correct answers out of 91:

Trump: 24 (23.1%)
Clinton: 70 (76.9%)
Johnson: 52 (57.1%)
Stein: 84 (92.3%)

Well, I liked Gary until I saw several of his stances that are just completely idiotic (Dan already listed them), and Jill Stein is practically the same in most departments, but several of her expanded responses (the illegal immigrants using paid-for healthcare/schooling, Syrians, etc.) turn me off.

This election cycle's a shitshow

Dan, you forgot he's also an anti-vaccine guy.

Jill Stein is liberal hell

isidewith also has some new questions/has updated the candidates answers I think. Take the test if you can't be bothered to do what Verb did and calculate your level of agreement.

cough

That's great Meta, but Jill doesn't appeal to me.

Still, she's stupid for being anti-vax

Vaccines are necessary and I'm not convinced that there's anything wrong with them. Obviously many people have reservations about them, with good reason. Everyone should question everything that's put into your body.

Of course, which is why I would support knowing what is going into our young bodies when it's time for vaccines.

you primarily support an increased consumption tax and a change to minimum wage (can't think of the correct term), right?

Yeah, in general taxes on consumption and property/land are at the top of the list of good taxes. Although corporation tax in itself would be good to get rid of regardless of any other changes in tax code (barring revenue concerns).

As for the minimum wage, it's optimal level is a function of the size of a given area's low-income labour market (as well as some concerns over 'efficiency wages'). I don't really oppose having a federal floor, and absent any real progress on the issue the next-best thing would be a federal minimum of $10/hr, but for the most part it ought to be set by states/metro areas.

yet they're not constitutional
