I was correct 32/33. I read too quickly the one that I missed. It was actually one of the easier questions.

You answered 28 out of 33 correctly — 84.85 %

I missed 2 because I read it too quickly and 3 because I'm from Russia.

If you were a political science major and could do no better on this quiz, you should just shoot yourself. You should probably shoot yourself anyway.

For the record, I disagree with the answer pertaining to what an example of a "progressive" tax would be, but I knew the answer they were looking for.

As I see it, there is no tax which is more regressive than a tax on man's labor. In fact, I would go as far as the tax rates on labor in excess of 30% are immoral.

One correction: 10% should be the maximum of ANY tax.

I got 31 of 33. One that I missed was REALLY bad. The question was "Name two countries that were our enemies during World War II." A softball. But for some reason I read it as "Name two countries that were enemies during World Wark II." I missed the "our." So to me it was tough. I picked England and Spain because I thought I remembered that the fascists took over Spain before World War II and I figured that would've made Spain and England enemies.

The other one was "If taxes equal government spending, then:" I answered "government debt is zero." And that should be true if the situation is sustainted. The correct answer is indicated as "tax per person equals government spending per person on average." That was the other alterntaive I was considering. I decided to eliminate that because some taxes aren't personal taxes. Thought it was a trick question.

Like I said. I should've gotten 32 of 33 for sure. Missing the "our" in that question about WWII enemies was really bad.

The thing about college educators getting 55% is pretty telling.

Real work should be taxed at a much lower rate than lawyering. :mrgreen:
