That's because you don't recognize that economics is actually a science rather than a political course.
I blame the media.

If economics is a "science", why don't economists agree on anything?

Gotcha.

While there are mathematical theories involved, theories are subjective, and some economic theories have been found wanting in practice. Think Laffer Curve.

I didnt see the Laffer Curve on the quiz.
And what part of it was found wanting?

The questions on the quiz were not biased in any way but baaed on fact. The choice of question might have been biased but not the answers.

You brought up economics as a science. I offered an example of where that "science" can be found wanting in application. Do you jump around this much in real life?

I'm not jumping around.
OK, which questions on the quiz were based on economic theories that are in dispute?

 

[WillowTree]

I guess if you mean capitalism is righ wing okay,, so that makes the left wing socialist? marxist? or communist??

You are though. I didn't bring up economics, or the quiz. You brought up that economics was a science, and I merely qualified your remark.

Meanwhile:

If taxes equal government spending, then: tax per person equals government spending per person

I disagree that this is how it breaks down. Taxes are rarely collected equally, and spending is rarely distributed equally. Taxes could still equal spending without either of those two being equal. Politics (public policy) does come into play in national economic policy.

Come on Willow...

Why don't you lie and tell us what you got on the quiz?

I got that one marked as wrong too. Tax per person never equals government spending per person....even with a balanced budget

Dunce.
That isn't what the question asks. Tax per person is an average. It doesn't matter whether one person pays the entire tax bill or everyone pays equally.
Similarly gov't spending per person is an average. It doesn't matter if the gov't blows it's entire budget on one person or distributes it equally.
