Experience influenced on government/politics

I personally feel that i havent had any experience or experiences that have had a strong political influence on me and my position on selecting a party. i personally lean more towards an independent/Republican because I share similiar motives as republicans but differ in some that lean away from Republican and Democratic. I am slightly conservative and feel that the government shouldn't take responsiblity on people in the country who are to lazy to go out and work for their own money. I feel that our government somehow feels the obligation to spend and take care of people who dont take action on being self relient, they depend on others to live and are lazy
