A few econ oddities #76

There's a few questions that positively/negatively impact the economic/market axis that are a bit confusing, and, in my opinion, should be reworked.

To this end, there's a few that seem odd:
"question": "I support regional unions, such as the European Union.",

This one is odd because generally those of a market-oriented persuasion are going to be of no opinion on if the EU is good or bad, as this is more of a societal/progressive question than necessarily a governmental/economic one. Someone who is market oriented isn't going to care about a union or not; they're only going to care about trade policy of their country. For example; someone could support fierce EU independence, but still ultimately come out very strongly in favor of trade deals with other EU nations.

"question": "Military spending is a waste of money.",

This one should definitely have an economic component to it; those who are more market oriented are inherently going to be against governmental spending.

"question": "All people - regardless of factors like culture or sexuality - should be treated equally."

This one doesn't have much to do with market forces at all; "treated equally" is likewise, ambiguous; is it equal treatment before the law? Equal treatment in terms of lack of judgment? Equality of results?

"question": "It is important that we further my group's goals above all others.",

This isn't even remotely an economic question; this should purely be a societal/civil rights/diplomacy issue.
