Answer 3

Fred Rodriguez and Alma Morton are running for an open U.S. Senate seat. During a debate, they had this exchange:

"I believe that people should take responsibility for their actions," Fred said. "If they are going to hurt others, then they should pay for their actions. Unsupervised children are to blame for many crimes. Their parents should be held accountable."

"Many parents in our community work full time," Alma replied. "They don't have enough income to pay a child-care provider. And now you're suggesting that they should be arrested for crimes their children commit? How are they supposed to feed their families if they are in jail? Shame on you for suggesting such a thing! I support the Families Now tax that provides funds for child services."

"The last thing we need is another tax," Fred said. "Local nonprofit agencies should help children instead."

Which statement by which candidate leads you to believe he or she would vote "no" to fund a child-care center for low-income families with a tax increase?
Fred would vote no because he said, "The last thing we need is another tax."
Fred would vote no because he said, "Unsupervised children are to blame for many crimes."
Alma would vote no because she said, "Their parents should be held accountable."
Alma would vote no because she said, "They don't have enough income to pay a child-care provider."
