| 26 out of 33, and not American. About half a dozen of the answers I learned from following Ron Paul's campaign this election season. |

And exactly where is the right to tax income enshrined? The country existed nearly 150 years without one. |
16th Amendment.
Anyway, I got 32/33. |

That would explain why you got a few wrong.  |

Ha ha ha. Seriously though, I learned a ton about amendments, authority for declaring war and all the rest. One thing I missed about the end of the campaign was the lack of off-the-cuff speeches that were unscripted and always had something new in them. I like Obama and he's going to be a great president but his speeches just aren't as interesting to watch. |

Ron Paul, for his faults, had a great many unique virtues which I would've liked to have seen in the other Democratic candidates. His campaign, however, was in some ways better than the candidate. Peter Schiff turned out to be on (off?) the money in his predictions. And I can only think of one poster on this board who would not sympathize with the RP movement's grassroots character.
I wonder who will take up the libertarian cause in 5-10 years. |

Definitely true about the campaign. Ron Paul originally just wanted to leave a record behind for other people to find later on and hopefully carry on.
I like his son in particular actually. Rand Paul, 45 or so, a doctor in Kentucky, has pretty much the same philosophy and gives a good speech too. I'd like to see him run for congress in two years, and then six years after that (no way Obama's not winning re-election unless he really happens to mess things up) maybe the GOP philosophy will have moved back towards something like in 1994 / the election campaign promises of 2000.

Oh yeah, aren't you from there? You should go meet him in person the next time you're back and report to the board on what you think. Do it! |

31/33. Got #7 & 33 wrong.
The public good question's answer wasn't the best. I know my former poly sci professor would have cringed at that definition. |

| Agreed. Question and choices problematic re: the public good. How did you answer 33 and why, by the way? |

B,C,E were obviously eliminated.
A was eliminated due to the definition of debt vs. budget deficit.
D is not a reflection of percentage of tax paid vs. amount spent on each individual, just another way of saying income equals expenses regardless of how many people effect the left side or right side of the equation. |

Question 29 is the one I have a problem with.
The whole "without directly paying for it" concept is a fallacy and contributer to our entitlement mentality. IMHO. How did you answer, and why. |
