You answered 29 out of 33 correctly — 87.88 %

Did better than I thought I would. Two reasons for that, I think:

1.  The questions and answers were easy to interpret.
2.  I have become more interested in, and knowledgeable of, history, politics, law, the Constitution, and all of the other ingredients that make America since I've been participating at APS.

Quote
tax per person equals government spending per person on average

That's a totally true but nonsensical observation.

Would still be true even if the govt took 100% of the property of 50% of the people and gave it to the other 50%.

That would be a mean average.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Missed the tax question and the Lincoln debate question.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Missed 3, the "what policy during a recession" the "of the people, by the people" one, and this one I misread...
