Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race/ethnicity: White (Scots-Irish)
Religion: Protestant/Methodist
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120
Location: NC Piedmont
Where you were born: NC Piedmont
Occupation: Graduate student, advisory services
Political figure you most admire: Huey Long or Helen Keller (most definitely no one prominent today or in the past 35-40 years)
Favorite President: Andrew Jackson
Political Orientation: Vehemently opposed to both bankster parties - including "independent" politicians who caucus with said parties (e.g., Sanders); even reluctant toward minor parties - including Greens - who still perpetuate the myth that taxes "pay" for spending. Non-negotiable policies: permanent WPA to guarantee full employment, Medicare for All, federally capitalized state banks, bailout underwater homeowners, dissolve the TBTF banks because "regulating" them is kabuki and a fool's errand (clue stick: regulatory capture), Congress selected by lottery (makes campaign finance reform(TM) moot), and dissolve the Fed/return the power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof" to Congress (per Article I, Section 8, Clause 5). Especially furious for being sucked into the Dem veal pin for so long, as they are able to get away with more egregious upward wealth transfer and imperialism than their Repub "opponents" could ever get away with, meanwhile using identity "politics" are their carte blanche. TL;DR: Big-spending, limited power, public purpose government (why people try to collapse these three dimensions into one "left"-"right" axis is beyond me...)
Favorite Musician(s): George Strait, Eric Church, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Alabama, Dwight Yoakam, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band, Kacey Musgraves, Lee Brice, ... , almost anything country!
Favorite Sports teams: UNC Tar Heels, FL Gators, ATL Braves, STL Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Nola Saints
Favorite Books (non-fiction):
 - Debt: The First 5,000 Years
 - The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality
 - Seven Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy
 - Understanding Modern Money: The Key to Full Employment and Price Stability
 - Econned
Favorite Books (fiction):
 - The Grapes of Wrath
 - 1984
 - Animal Farm
Favorite Shows: King of the Hill; Walker, Texas Ranger; 30 Rock; Strangers with Candy; It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Favorite Movies: Syriana, Fargo, Into the Wild
News Source:
 - nakedcapitalism.com
 - wolfstreet.com
 - ZeroHedge (despite the goldbugs, and Paul-bots, good exposure of QE, ZIRP, absolution of bankster crimes, and unemployment)
 - any reporting from Matt Taibbi

A bit about Wolverine22

Age: 19

Sex: Male

Gender: Male-ish

Sexual orientation: Gay

Race: White

Ethnicity: Italian

Religion: Atheist

Language(s)Sad English and some Spanish

Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan

Place you were born: Flint, Michigan

Occupation: College student, Aviation Management and Operations major with the intent of pursuing an MBA

Political figures you most admire: Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Harvey Milk, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Wendy Davis, Ann Richards, Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau

Favorite president: Lyndon Baines Johnson

Political orientation: More of a moderate progressive. The reason being for that is because most of my political views have come more into the mainstream since I started getting interested in politics. Back then if you openly supported same-sex marriage and won elected office, you had to have been from Massachusetts as that was the only place you'd have a shot at getting elected. I'm pro-choice and being from a small, blue-collar town, I'm pretty pro-union. I call myself a Democrat simply because Democrats align closest to my views and the Republicans right now are just insane. The main thing that makes me a liberal is the fact that I'm a pragmatist and that ideology has never solved a problem, created a job, or pulled anyone out of poverty. If you met me, you'd find that I'm pretty candid and I think that plays a bit into my political views, is that I tell it like it is.

Favorite book(s)Sad "Are you there vodka? It's me, Chelsea!"

Favorite TV show(s)Sad Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Rick Mercer Report, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Law and Order SVU, daytime trash TV, The Ed Show

Favorite movies: Shawshank Redemption, Prayers for Bobby

Other interests not involving politics: Traveling, aviation, sports, and psychology.

Favorite color: Blue

Favorite Sports Team: Michigan, Western Michigan, Detroit Red Wings, New England Patriots

Do you live by yourself? For the most part.

Do you have any siblings? One younger brother.

Do you have any nieces, nephews?  Nope, and never will.

Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same sex? What do you think?

Relationship status: Forever alone...

What year did you join Atlas? 2014

If you could pick your own nationality, which would you pick? Canadian, Australian, or Italian. Just not American.

Where were you born?  Dickinson, North Dakota

Political figures you most admire: I don't admire any contemporary political figures anymore

Favorite President:  Lincoln, with honorable mentions to TR and FDR

Political Orientation: Independent, center-left leaning on many policy issues, but with an
                              admittedly weird mixture of both communitarian and liberal stances on
                              different social issues

Favorite music:  70's folk, some classical, jazz and some religious hymns/chants

Favorite book: I still like Robert Hass' Twentieth Century Pleasures: Essays on Prose and Poetry
                      a lot, but the Dao De Jing is slowly inching upward on a more consistent basis.

Favorite shows: Cosmos, Carl Sagan (1980),
                       The Living Planet, David Attenborough (1984)
                       Cheers, first three seasons
                       The Civil War, Ken Burns

Favorite movies: Good Will Hunting (1995)

Other interests besides politics: Indian and Chinese philosophical traditions, chess, guitar,
                                              science, travel, beer (*politics is no longer an interest of mine)

Favorite color: darker shades of blue

Do you live by yourself? Not at the moment, living with my significant other,
                                    but in Illinois, I live alone.

Do you have any siblings? Six older brothers

Relationship status: in a relationship

What year did you join Atlas? 2008

Do you have any nieces or nephews? 4 nieces, 4 nephews

Have you ever been attracted to a person of the same sex?  Not sexually, but in other ways, yes.

If you could pick your own nationality, which one would you pick?: German, I guess;
                                                        I sometimes think of myself as an "adopted Chinese" person,
                                                        given that I was previously married to a Chinese woman,
                                                        had a Chinese step-daughter, my current partner is from China
                                                        and I go there often--but I'd probably never reside there.
