This program contained a lot of firsts for us at Learn Liberty! The first time we used Goodreads, the first time we conducted a live presentation and the first time we used popular culture as a course in Learn Liberty Academy. Did the program meet your expectations?

I enjoyed the program, but I wish there was a way to see how many points I have.

The program was very underwhelming. Please go back to the drawing board.

We probably all agree that the degree of force and intimidation used by the Capitol in The Hunger Games was excessive. But how much power should government have to maintain stability in society, to protect itself and its citizens from insurrection and violence?

Stability and safety is important, but the government should do the minimum to maintain it. Gun laws stink. The NSA is an unwarranted encroachment on privacy. Police are cool, but they should only be used to stop acts of violence.
 
  19 votes, 46.3%

Stability and safety is important, but there should be limits to what the government can do to ensure it. You don’t love “Stop and Frisk”, the TSA, and gun laws, but you support a vigilant and active police force, moderate gun laws, and some NSA activity to prevent terrorism

Government is the greatest threat to stability and safety in society. It should not have the power to use any force whatsoever to maintain stability in society. If not abolished altogether, government should be stripped of all abilities to use force on its citizens.
 
  9 votes, 22.0%

Stability and Safety are secondary concerns, whereas the protection of citizens' rights should be the primary function of government. I support giving government the authority to protect the citizens' rights, while separating the government's power and making sure that the citizens have a good amount of influence over the political system in their region.

Stability and safety is a high priority of government, even if it means some preemptive force. You support “Stop and Frisk”, TSA Scanners, and strict gun laws. The NSA has the right to view the content of our emails and phone records to prevent terrorism.

Inequality is a major theme in the Hunger Games trilogy. The Capitol swims in wealth while the impoverished districts slave to provide for the Capitol. The citizens of Panem have no political voice and are subject to the whims of the political elite. What are your views on inequality?

Equality of opportunity is more important than equality of circumstances. Everyone should have the same opportunity to move up in life, although they may live in different circumstances. (write-in)
 
  8 votes, 28.6%

Wealth and opportunity inequality are important, but only insofar as they lead to political equality. When the wealthy have more political power, we have problems. Otherwise, we’re gooooooood.
 
  7 votes, 25.0%

Wealth inequality isn’t as important as inequality of opportunity. Even if outcomes differ, everyone should be given the same shot to move up in life. Everyone has the right to a K-12 education and a guaranteed minimum income.
 
  5 votes, 17.9%

Inequality is not something we should be worried about, as long as it emerges from a free market system of voluntary exchanges. As far as political power goes, money is speech.
 
  5 votes, 17.9%

Economic equality and political equality are equally important. Everyone should have a say in the political system and the government should ensure that wealth be distributed more or less evenly across society.

 
  2 votes, 7.1%

Inequalities in wealth and income are exacerbated, not mitigated, by the state. (write-in)

The Hob is the Marketplace of Exchange in The Hunger Games, a black market that emerges in the command economy of Panem. What are your views on the government’s role in trade? The government should...
