Keep voting on proposition 21
Keep voting on proposition 22

Note: Before social safety net, I replaced 'strong' with 'large'. I think this is appropriate since if there is a social safety net, there really isn't a debate whether or not it should be strong. Its also more clearly ideological.

Disagree.

I suppose this question in some level is unfair to the right. Typically rightists do think the social net should exist, just that it is provided by churches, religious organisations and philanprophy, rather than a mandatory contribution provided for by a government (or other such entity with the power to distribute capital). I don't consider outright Randians an idealogy or even part of the right in general (gee I dislike the right-wing in general, but I'm not outright mean enough to associate them with that monstrous idealogy)

And yes, I think that a strong social net is outright needed in accordance with my strong ethical belief that inequality is an immoral state of being. I tend to reject the idea that such a net should be dependent on the whims of the rich a la charity or reliant on the quasi-governments of religious organisations.

Well, I do think that some social safety net should exist, but it wouldn't be as large as most left-wingers would want. Disagree, I guess.
