Directions: Read the following paragraph and identify which group on the political spectrum is being described. Mark your answer using the multiple-choice format below. "Our society needs to embrace a free-market society. Having a strong competitive market where private enterprise is encouraged creates the greatest opportunity and can lead to the highest standard of living for all. In order for markets to be free, government interference must be limited in order to create jobs and provide opportunities for all. Increased government regulation will place a stranglehold on business growth and will result in fewer jobs offered. Additionally, taxes must be lowered. Lower taxes create more incentive for people to work, save, and invest in the stock market. Money is best spent by those who earn it, not the government. Government programs encourage people to become dependent and lazy, rather than encouraging work independence."
