I also favor low tax rates on corporations and high income individuals. I am in favor of immigration however I still see my home country as the greatest country to live in.]]> 2017-11-10 18:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/205794366 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/205796516 Being a Left-Wing means that I support policies that promote social and economic equality.]]> 2017-11-10 18:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/205796516 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/205798176 My name is Kyle Kielma. I am a white 16 year old male. My family has always been a lower class family and we've been struggling for money since I was little. Its been harder for us to afford life insurance and bills and all of that because to get anywhere nowadays, you need to be somewhat wealthy which I believe is unfair because I have a bunch of mental and physical health issues and we have a hard time affording treatment for it. As for my ethnicity and race, they haven't really affected my beliefs at all because anyone can have their own opinions and beliefs. My gender hasn't really affected my beliefs much either because everyone is considered equal whether you're male or female. The only difference between the two is appearance.]]> 2017-11-10 18:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/205798176 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207942916 My family has a little bit of an influence on my beliefs and ideology because of our social class. Although it doesn't matter much to me, it bothers me a little bit that we are struggling as much as we are just because we don't have a lot of money. We are recently having struggles with money because my dad passed away and we stopped receiving child support. However, we are getting social security checks but that's only for another year and a half. Because of this, I believe that there should be more social and economic equality.]]> 2017-11-17 00:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207942916 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207943502 Since I support more personal freedom, school has quite a bit of influence on my ideology. We have very little personal freedom in school and we're constantly getting in trouble for the dumbest things. For example, we get in trouble for cell phones, hats, hoods, ear buds, clothing, language, not having a pass, etc. These things that we get in trouble for don't even affect learning in any way. For that reason, I would like to have a bit more personal freedom in my school]]> 2017-11-17 00:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207943502 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207944514 I personally don't believe in any religion but I also don't judge other peoples beliefs. However, I believe it is wrong to force religion on people. Other than that, religion doesn't affect my beliefs much.]]> 2017-11-17 00:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207944514 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207945347 I don't really let people around me influence my beliefs unless they're really close to me. I used to but for a while now I've always thought about the question, "If your friends jump off of a bridge, does that mean you will to?" You should only let certain people influence you.]]> 2017-11-17 00:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207945347 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207946201 This guy right here, Chris Fronzak, is one of my biggest influences in life. He's gone through a lot in his lifetime and has achieved a lot in his lifetime as well. I live off of a lot of this guy's quotes and actions. The biggest quote being, "Dedication is the key to life so get out there and make a difference." Ever since I started following this guy and his beliefs, I've been able to accomplish a ton. As for his influence on my political views, I believe that with enough dedication and motivation, I can help make a difference in the world and help achieve some of these things that other Core Conservatives believe in.]]> 2017-11-17 00:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207946201 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207947151 Legalizing Marijuana goes with the personal freedom part of my ideology. I believe it should be legalized because of its many benefits. With the research that I've done on it, the benefits outweigh the negative effects by far. I am a type 1 diabetic and there is a ton of research that shows that marijuana can help a great deal with controlling that. Our state also needs money and legalizing pot can help Illinois make the money that they need.]]> 2017-11-17 00:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207947151 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207947608 Social Equality is important to me because discrimination is just awful. Everyone should be treated equal unless you've done something to be treated otherwise. I do support the Black Lives Matter movement for the most part. However, there are a ton of people that are a part of the movement that get upset when you say the same about any other race. For example, if I were to go out and publicly say white lives matter, I would be considered racist and people would be upset about it which isn't really equal. I believe that all lives matter and that everyone should be equal.]]> 2017-11-17 00:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207947608 KDK_712 https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207948281 My answer to that is self control. People should be able to own and use firearms and it's up to those people to be able to control themselves with guns. There are classes that teach you how to safely use a gun and how to not misuse a gun. I believe that gun control won't really make a difference because people will still find a way to illegally buy firearms for the purpose of misusing them so it should be the owner's responsibility and only the owners responsibility if a firearm is misused. ]]> 2017-11-17 00:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/KDK_712/w9c9ngbz5qoz/wish/207948281
