Dear Automated Message, I'm a middle aged male, married, children.

Socially, I'm for a safety net as measured by the Gini index within a small government. That's why I think Obama will go down as a fairly good President for keeping taxes low while having managed to pass the Affordable Care Act.

I favor equal opportunity, especially through education, which means a dense network of decent public schools. I also favor rewarding achievers with motivational devices like elite public schools (Stuyvesant HS, Bronx HS of Science, etc).

In foreign policy, I just hope for peaceful open trade and keeping checks on risks. That would mean TAFTA and helping reduce islamist madhouses wherever they pop up. (it would be nice to help kleptocrat Putin step down too, but that's writing a Santa's list that's getting too long)

Oh, and I'm rather for Law and Order. Social justice doesn't bloom in anarchy.
