My Political Views

I lean more left wing , with moderate government control . I am not a socialist , though I do support some "socialist" policies such as free healthcare.

The government should regulate corporations and break up monopolies, just not infringe on people's personal liberties.  Take the test at:  https://www.politicalcompass.org/test Analysis of the score/explanation:  https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis Feel free to comment and I will try to respond. Please keep everything civil.
