[quote:Anonymous Coward 1230224:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzg2NDYzX0Y5QkJFOUJE] [quote:Serenity Now 1112441] I object to the following questions and answers: #27 is questionable - What do they mean by "means and ends?" If they mean using slave labor in China to bring down prices, then that does not secure more economic prosperity in our nation. Property rights and the rule of law have done more to secure economic prosperity in this nation than anything else IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! #29 is wrong - Citizens pay for EVERYTHING; the government doesn't have any money! #32 is wrong - The Federal Reserve does not have the authority to buy or sell government securities. #33 is flat-out wrong - If the government taxes Person A for $100 and spends $100 on Person B, then the net result is zero. But that most certainly does NOT mean that the tax per person = spending per person! Beware quizzes with manipulative questions and FALSE answers!

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute polled 2500 people including 164 elected officials. 74% of Elected officials, and 71% of the general population failed the test. You can read the story here. [

I am embarrassed to say I only got 88%. Please take the test and post your scores to see how much smarter GLPers are than the Elected officials that are supposed to support the document they know so little about. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, but please post your first score hear.
To simplify the posting here is a poll.
