Healthcare is now free. And in order to make that work: Many government programs that I would deem unnecessary where large sums of money are spent either suffer a budget cut or are shut down. Prison sentences are significantly lowered to reduce the number of people in jail so that the government doesn't have to pay as much upkeep for them. The rich are taxed more, many drugs are legalized and such drug sales have a very high taxes associated with them.
Also keep in mind that this is all coming from someone who doesn't know much if anything about politics, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Negative income tax is actually something some libertarians and fiscal conservatives advocate because, with an increase in disposable income amongst lower income earners would permit more government social services and other things that require a significant amount of tax revenue could be scaled back, with the private market being expected to provide what was formerly provided by the state.
The reality is, that probably wouldn't happen, and I personally feel like the cost of services might actually rise, seeing that healthcare, insurance, and places of higher education do not operate on the same economic mechanisms as the free market does, and seem to be more similar in nature to cartels that are both protected by current laws, while functionally establishing a monopoly on accreditation and the sanctioning of different/wildcat practices which might limit their power.
Plus, there's no guarantee that individuals would actually use the money for those purposes.
Instead, there will be millions of Americans that would have more cool shit, but no healthcare or utilities to even run their shit with.

No, it's just the selfish "I've got mine, fuck you" attitude you have towards people less fortunate than yourself that makes you disgusting.

I would say my social views are moderate-libertarian while my economic views are moderate-left.

Moderate to far right. Too many Repubs are afraid to counter the Dems in my opinion.

Well, I'm:
>Pro-eugenics. Contrary to widespread misconception, eugenics doesn't necessarily necessitate the indiscriminate genocide of select "unfit" groups, but can be effectively implemented by pressuring undesirable sects of a given demography to forgo procreation. Prisoners (specifically those with an extensive history of violent behavior) should be given the option of parole, but must submit to permanent sterilization beforehand (with lifers being denied this one-time boon of administrative generosity for obvious reasons). Welfare should not encourage financially-unstable mothers to produce more offspring, but rather should punish them for careless reproduction, with the sanctions increasing geometrically with each successful birth that they subject the state to. Deadbeat fathers that harbor a penchant for siring multiple children without any intent of providing for any of them may opt to have their child support duties wavered by submitting to castration. Those that retain a measurable echelon of diminished cognitive ability (low IQ, mental retardation, autism, ect) should be offered monitory compensation in exchange for willing sterilization.
The promotion of a culture that reinforces civility, order, comradeship, duty, and productivity would gradually result in a progressive society of pristine quality as generations come and go, while high IQ persons should be encouraged to reproduce with those of similar stock.
Naturally, I'm all for selective-abortion.
>Anti-multiculturalism. Suffice to say, it doesn't work very well. One of the core facets of the human condition demonstrates that human beings do not respond well to foreign peoples and their foreign cultures. You know, "in-group bias" and all of that. An excellent contemporary example of the limits (and failings) of multiculturalism can be easily found within Europe. The natives of many European sovereign states seem to be growing quite wary of their non-native populations due to a dramatic influx in crime and the guest population's overt rejection of the host nation's standards.
I'd rather enjoy sticking to my own kind and my own culture. I'll taste yours when it tickles my fancy.
>Pro-gun ownership. Long live the Second Amendment.
>Pro-racial segregation. Ethnically and racially homogeneous societies have been shown to be (on average) the happiest of societies.
Libertarian perhaps? Who knows, but while I'm not against capitalism, my thoughts begin to change when I come across things like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership

I thought this was a joke, but then I realized, you're serious. SMH, I'll ask my crazy aunt to pray for you, because you need Jesus in the worst way.
EDIT: So, let me get this straight, you believe that integration was the worst thing for us? Does that mean you support Separate but Equal and all of the Jim Crow Laws? What are your feelings on Apartheid and the world's apprehension to it?

It seems conservatives and republicans are always being silenced as well, especially because of their traditional/politically incorrect views.

Exactly Metal. People think Fox is SO ludicrous, but what have they done to earn that title exactly? Liberals always say that Fox reports exaggerated news stories and even fabricates stories to fit the right-wing mindset, but I've only seen them report things that liberal media outlets won't because it embarrasses the President or Hillary Clinton. I pay attention to both Fox and liberal outlets, and there's a huge contrast between the two. Many times I have seen Fox display factual articles involving updates on scandals that embarrass the left (their own fault IMO), while the liberal outlets plaster oodles of celebrity news on the screen. It seems like one big smokescreen to me.

FOX is more entertaining than the other news stations imo.

Ohh stop. Fox News is so full of shit it's not even funny. They defended 43 so much, you'd think it was his personal news service. Fox News and MSNBC are jokes and nothing more and you cannot sit here and tell me w/ a straight face that Fox is somehow the standard of news in this country when they're just as guilty as MNSBC of further exacerbating partisan attitudes in this country and appealing to either party.

Although they are biased, the thing I like about FOX over the other news stations is that they say it how it is and aren't politically correct like the other news stations.

Independent, I take each issue on its own and will not vote for a candidate or issue based on the party affiliated with it.
I am very cynical about politicians from any party, as I have very little faith that they want to do anything but be well-paid pocket pets for whatever corporations or special interest groups will support them.

Which is not always good, because sometimes it's not okay to say what's actually on your mind.

True, but I prefer people who are more straight up about shit rather than being politically correct 24/7.
