"Minimum wage laws are good for young and unskilled workers. (True/false?)
The male/female "wage gap" results from "gender discrimination," not genuine economic considerations (True/false?)
Higher tax rates results in higher government revenues. (True/false?)
Capitalism was the cause of the Great Depression, and FDR's New Deal cured it. (True/false?)
Rent control makes more affordable housing available to the poor. (True/false?)
If you answered "false" to at least three of those questions, then to liberals, you're a 'capitalist pig'."
This quiz is on a Conservative View Site Human Events.Com.

Guitar man --- The link is from a Conservative Site HumanEvents.com and would hold a bias.

I am a Split Party Ticket Voter, so I get info and perspectives from all camps. I don't know many sites that aren't biased. It's the nature of politics, is it not?

Only a true capitalist knows that capitalism is a tug o war in which, if you don't balance the tension both sides collapse.
After all what good makes to come up with a product if no one have money to buy it.

Well I answered false to at least 3 of the questions, but I don't really need a quiz to know I am a capitalist. Capitalism works where socialism fails, but you do need a mix of the two ideologies to properly address the needs of the society as a whole. However, I am not a pig, nor am I insensitive to the poor, oppressed, or unskilled in our society. The problem with people who champion the poor and continue to perpetuate the class struggle is that they seek to create a victim mentality and this will always be a bad thing. It has always been my experience that most people will attempt to rise to the level of the expectation which is set for them.

Well, then I'm a capitalist. But I also have some liberal views. And some of those aren't really pure true false questions. And Harley is making a sweeping generalization.
Things really aren't always as black or white as some people believe.

Although the truth is always in the details, on all 5 questions I tend to lean towards "true".
So, yay! I'm not a pig! :)
Which is sad, because I can do a pretty good pig impersonation...

Funny that you couldn't provide a link, but even if you had, it still doesn't mean some Ann Coulter didn't write the test out of pure malice and evil. Convince me - give me the non-conservative source of the test.

Liberals don't have a grasp on economics. Steal from the rich, give to the poor. They measure success by how many people they help on to welfare, conservatives measure success by how many people they help off of welfare.
