The Ideological Turing Test

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I believe that society should work for all Americans, not just a privileged few. All too often in this country, society is set up so those on the bottom stay at the bottom, while those on the top get richer at society's expense. Maybe it's the millions of Americans who struggle to pay for healthcare while the wealthy gets access to the best care with ease. Or maybe it's watching hardworking Americans pay taxes while billionaires get tax breaks. Trickle down economics has proven not to work, except to make the wealthy, wealthier. As a Democrat, I don't mind people being wealthy, I do mind them not paying their fair share. So to conclude, I'm a Democrat as I want everyone in society to be treated fairly. I have my own conscience to answer to.

I am a Republican because I believe in the American dream. I believe in free markets and God, two things the democrats can't seem to stand. I believe in the second amendment right of a person to keep and bear arms so he can protect his family from the criminals who constantly try to take everything a working man earns in his life. I also believe in an actual border that is defended against unlawful entry from people who won't even bother to learn to speak English. I believe in the right of an individual to control his own life instead of having everything dictated to him by the state. This is why I am a Republican.

I identify as republican because I support America. My family has always identified as a republican. We are Christian and have high moral standards. I believe in fighting for my country and traditional American values. Unlike democrats, who want to take our rights away, like our freedom to have guns, as a republican I believe in our constitution to have guns. Democrats are running America to the ground with their tolerance of everything like same-sex marriage. Women and men are only to be together, not a woman and woman or man and man. This is morally wrong and has no place in our American society.

I am a Republican because I believe in the tenet, ""what I earn is what I should keep."" From an early age, I learned that in order to get ahead, I would have to work hard. And I have. I know if I can work hard, so can everyone else. Why should I have to give away my hard-earned money for hand-outs to people who do not want to work? This is definitely not fair. And of course, we all know that our government is inept when it comes to running social programs. So much money is wasted on bureaucracy, that I might as well flush my money down the drain. I want the government to stay out of my pockets, because BIG government does not work efficiently.

I am a DEMOCRAT because I relate to the distribution of responsibility, empowerment of individuals, group members, and aiding group decision making. Advantages of being a Democrat include creating jobs and job satisfaction. One of the distinct changes in the Democrat Party has been promoting social liberal platforms and social and economic equality. Policies include the environment, labor unions, affordable college tuition, affordable healthcare, and consumer protection are what I firmly believe are the core principles for our great nation. LBGT rights, campaign finance reform are all social issues the Party supports. I believe there have been 15 Democrats who have served as President.

I am a Democrat because I believe the country should be progressive instead of regressive. Republican policies are taking away the rights of women and minorities and it is unacceptable. I understand that there are some Democrats who are not trustworthy, but most of us really do believe in moving the country forward and implementing policies that create equality for all instead of only benefitting the rich and the white man. No one deserves to have their rights revoked based solely on their ethnicity or gender and everyone deserves equal opportunities. I believe there should be healthcare for all, equal opportunity employment, minimal wage gaps, and women should have the right to autonomy without control from men.

I am a Republican because it represents who I am, and what I believe in. I believe that the US was created by the Founding Fathers based on a certain set of values, and that's what makes America great. The harder you work, the more you get. I believe that's the right way to do things, and anything else just encourages people to be lazy. If people want to be part of this great country, they need to earn it, and it shouldn't be handed out easily. I therefore fully align with the immigration, and healthcare views of the Republican party.

I am a Republican because I love America and Americans. Republicans are very patriotic, we believe in FREEDOM, and less government. We believe in freedom of choice. We believe in our military, and the choice to have guns. It is all about choices. I am a Republican because I love immigration, but believe illegal immigration needs to be stopped. I love our flag and cherish it. I feel like the American dream still exists, work hard and you can have it. It will never be granted by government handouts. Socialism will never work, and the lazy will take advantage, trickle-down economics is what will and does work in this amazing country

I am a democrat because I believe we, as a society are paying too much in taxes and that our taxes need to be reduced. I am a democrat because health, education and the arts are extremely important to my views and important to society. I believe we need to give more to health, education and the arts. We need to help kids be able to attend college without going into thousands upon thousands of dollars in debt. As a democrat, we need to make sure that our homeless have a place to go to for help, we need to take care of our homeless and try to get them off the street. I enjoy the arts, and I believe we need to make sure all kids in the our school system have an opportunity to view and experience the arts, especially to help our children grow up with an open mind.

""I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in equality for all. No one sector should be over run by another. The rich stay rich when they pass laws to protect corporate business instead of taxing them when they have made extra. Smaller business are the ones who are hurting when they pass new laws and pass taxes exemptions for only certain company's. I believe if a certain income is made by a business, then all should be required to pay a the same amount in deduction from earnings. Corporations like Walmart have the money yet get more exemptions on taxes and deductions than your local flea market family store..Its just not fair over all.
