My Political Ideology
My political view point is Moderate and neither just Conservative or Liberal. Being Moderate, I side with some issues on either side without fully joining the team. Two topics I agree with on the Conservative side are Pro-Life and Gun-Rights, I feel these two are the most important to myself. On the Liberal side, I focus more on the No Death Penalty Regulation and Legalizing Marijuana.

I assume legalizing Marijuana will lower the price because not as many people will have to sell it illegally and more people can grow it, but by placing a large tax on the drug I feel we can make a profit on it. Plus, I feel not many people will want to spend even more money on drugs so that will lower the number of people who use it. Granted, there will be the hardcore drug users who will pay any amount for their dose, but why not make some money out of their
