I might take it again when I'm in a different frame of mind. Some of the questions did not present what the government's role would be, like "everyone should have the necessities of life" -- isn't that what we contribute to charities for? I'll do it again but (like with fortune cookies and "in bed") will add "through the government" at the end of all of them.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-69273017368693588472008-10-07T18:57:00.000-05:002008-10-07T18:57:00.000-05:00One thing they should have mentioned is that highl...One thing they should have mentioned is that highly regulated economy does not eliminate poverty, it just equalizes everyone to a specific poor level.
