In a case currently before the Supreme Court, a city decided to use a test to determine which firefighters should receive promotions. No black firefighters scored high enough on the test to earn a promotion, so the city decided not to offer promotions to the white firefighters who got the highest scores on the test. Which of the following statements comes closest to your view:
65% Those white firefighters were victims of discrimination and should get the promotions based on the test results
31% Because no black firefighters got high scores,the city should use a new test to make sure that blacks were not victims of discrimination

"Voters overwhelmingly agree that reforming health care is important but are concerned about Democratic proposals that increase federal debt, add new taxes and push those with private insurance to a public plan. The findings, according to a newly released Resurgent Republic survey, find Democrats on one side of the issue with Independents and Republicans on the other."

Obama Approval: Health Care
44% Approve, 34% Disapprove
Do you think the government would do a better or worse job than private insurance
companies in providing medical coverage?
50% Better, 34% Worse
Would you be willing or not willing to pay higher taxes so that all Americans have
health insurance they can't lose, no matter what?
57% Willing, 37% Not willing
Some people have suggested requiring all Americans to have health insurance. Under
this plan, employers would be required to provide insurance for all their workers or pay
into a government pool that would be used to buy coverage for the uninsured. People who
do not get insurance from an employer would have to buy their coverage on their own or
from the government insurance pool. Does this sound like a good idea to you, a bad idea
or are you unsure?
26% Good idea, 28% Bad idea
