My Political Views

In today’s society, cheating, lying, and scandal is all part of everyday life, as is covering up cheating, lies, and scandals, so it is no surprise that these qualities are also extremely present in the government. The government spends too much time and money looking for criminals and arresting them for white collar crimes, than preventing the temptation to commit these crimes. In this sense, the government is corrupt, hiding their countries’ problems rather than preventing them. They spend more time looking for people cheating their taxes than attempting to figure out why it is these people find it so necessary to save money that they are willing to commit a crime to do so. Are these people not earning enough money? In which case the government could fix this issue and contact the employer to ensure that the workers are being paid reasonably. Or are these people simply copies of their governments’ main quality: corrupt. Rather than spending time looking for these people to arrest them and not resolve anything, the government should spend time preventing people from the desire to cheat and steal. I believe that governments’ priorities are improperly ordered.

With concern to political parties, I am most defiantly not republican. I think that their views are far too extreme and in some cases, insensitive. For example, republicans believe that abortion should be completely illegal; I know that abortion is a very controversial topic, however I am very pro-choice. For this reason I know that I am not Republican, in some cases, I would say that abortion is unnecessary, of course, however when it is a case of rape, or someone under the age of consent, I believe it is in everyone’s best interest to allow the girl to make her own choice. Another issue that I do not agree with the republican opinion on is medical marijuana. I believe that if someone is terminally sick or in extreme pain and they find something not very harmful that helps them feel better, then by all means they should use it. If suffering can be prevented, then it should be. Republicans however, do not feel this way on this issue. So in conclusion, by process of elimination, I would call myself a democrat before a republican.

In political views of liberal/ conservative, I would sooner call myself a liberal simply because of what I learned from the Canadian government
