              My political beliefs tend to be fairly liberal and I have an interest in politics and current events of the world. This being said I still strongly believe that we should respect someone no matter of their beliefs because it’s simply the right thing to do. Unless someone is simply rude in their expression of their beliefs because everyone is entitled to their own opinion and deserves respect for them. This being said there are a few topics, such as equality, in which respect can waver. I personally believe that Americans with means should sacrifice in order to pay for the less fortunate and honestly they should be paying more than they are now. However, the welfare system needs some serious restructuring and more work towards helping people who rely on welfare to rise above their personal situations. I also believe we should move towards free healthcare and free college education.   Regardless of your background I value the right to marry legally, the right to free education, and the right to vote. Equality is a no brainer in my opinion and the right to marry is so important. Marriage equality is a huge step but we still have a long way to go in protecting the rights of the people. In order to compete in the America education is a must so we need to provide free and equal opportunity for everyone. Lastly, the right to vote is the only personal power we have to effect the way our country functions as individuals and we deserve to have a say in how our country functions as long as that belief is fair.
