I believe in:
-Free Health Care
-Almost all taxes on rich
-Few taxes on poor
-Still able to get rich
-Democracy (elections)
-ALL laws approved by the public by a majority vote
-No political parties
What am I closest to? Am I a combination of 2 or more? Or am I something new? Also, who supports my views?

It's actually a really good test to tell you where you fit politically.

The first few indicate that your system would be closest to a socialist democracy (like some in Europe). However, the last two on the list would put you in the category of a whole new animal.
I would subscribe to the last three, although I haven't made up my mind on the "no political parties" (I would have to think about that one). As for the others, it's too close to the new European type of socialism for my taste. They tend to have a much higher unemployment rate, and much higher tax rates than the US. It isn't working out that well for them, especially for those who would like to have a job.

It looks like a true democracy to me. Something that doesn't have to do with representation.
The closest system I can think of would be the democracy they had in Athens in ancient Greece. Citizens would go up to the agora and say whatever was on their minds. Free votes would be held on issues. Although there were still slaves and non-citizens in the city.
Apart from the last point, it sounds like the right system, but I wonder how realistic that would be for our modern states, given their sheer size.

well, you stand against everything that the Republican party stands for, and are very close to the Democrat party, though it sounds like you are a bit more progressive than most of the Democratic party these days. You believe in a true democracy, which is rare these days!
Congratulations! You rock! :)
Never forget...Republicans do not want democracy, want all taxes on the poor, want only the rich and middle class to have health care, want noone to get rich if they aren't already, do not want the public to have anything to do with lawmaking, and want everything to be politics because it keeps politicians powerful.
I support and agree with you 100%!

Communism with some sort of strange raw Democracy thrown in. The Communist system has one political party, which effectively means none.
Neither system will work, either together or in combination. At least, they've failed everywhere they've been tried.

socialist, your view on taxes are why France is losing their wealthiest people. France is losing billions in revenue because their tax the rich idiocy. You need to follow your decision making process to the end. You will be much happier with yourself. You are being shortsighted.

You are a good little anti-liberty socialist. The kind that produces double-digit unemployment rates in Europe.
