Introduction and finding out if DU is right for me

[Xyzse]

16. I am an Independent

I am pretty similar in many although:

"Role of Government" - I am similar, but we may be coming from the opposite ends of the spectrum. I don't believe the government is a cure all, but it can do a world of good, particularly if applied properly.

"Obama" - I completely agree. He was the last person I wanted to win the primaries. I am still not a fan, but he has accomplished quite a bit. He is also the reason I don't feel as passionately about politics.

"Taxes - a bit of a mixture here. I'm also a bit of a tax code addict, and there's a lot of false information on both sides as to how taxes work. My view here is there can't be any meaningful change on taxes without understanding what we have and don't have. Essentially, my biggest complaint is most who advocate on tax issues one way or the other haven't done the math."

I might agree with you on taxes. However, the current trend towards tax cuts is something I am not in favor of. Also, I tend to think that the tax burden and justification used by the 1% to keep getting more is unconscionable. I can probably justify some of what they mention, but not in the form that they ask for.
