Favorite President: JFK.
Political Orientation: Social democrat/Owenite Democratic  Socialist.  Basically a supporter of social democratic policies: highly progressive taxation, a minimum wage equal to the living wage, universal health care, free but quality education through the college level, an economy reliant solely on renewable energy, etc.  Through these means, I imagine that social classes will fade away, and workers will have the option of working at firms in which they have a say.  Also normally anti-war, though prepared to support humanitarian interventions like the ones in Libya, Kosovo, etc.
