1. Do you believe public employee unions have been a constructive force in American society or a destructive one?

2. Are you for MORE government in American lives or LESS government?

3. Would you consider the “war on poverty” of the last fifty years to have been a success?

4. Do you like big money in politics or dislike it?

5. Does the economy function better with greater regulation or less regulation?

Does "you are a racist" cover all five answers?

[Ted Grant]

These should be reformulated:

1. How have public employee unions been a constructive force in American society?

2. How is a larger and more powerful government a positive thing?

3. How has the “war on poverty” of the last fifty years been a success?

4. How did big money to the Democrats advance progressive campaign finance goals?

5. How does greater regulation help the economy?

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

The given questions are a challenge only for citizens who were never taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers and don't know why the Founding States enumerated certain protections into the Constitution. In the context of the Constitution, and probably many state constitutions, they are basically meaningless imo.
