Quiz – Whose Vision?

* Anybody willing to work should be able to find a job that pays a living wage.

* People shouldn’t have to file for bankruptcy because they got sick.

* Every child should have a genuinely good education – that is, it shouldn’t just be a bunch of talk – and those same children should be able to go to college even if their parents aren’t rich.

* People should be safe, from criminals and from terrorists; they want clean air, clean water, and time with their kids. And when they get old, they want to be able to retire with some dignity and respect.

* People don’t expect government to solve all their problems, and certainly don’t like seeing tax dollars wasted, but they figure government should help.
