1. The first and second choice
Much of religion in the US has been procured by the interests of big business by aligning the "no taxes on the rich" theme with so-called "social issues". Right wing radio has done a masterful job of this, making people think that it's ok to hate whoever they hate; gays, immigrants, Muslims.... and that no taxes on the rich is really "freedom", and the poor never includes a "ditto head", and if it did, at least the ditto head would have his reward for supporting what was "right" in the here-after while all the Godless liberals burn in hell.

That being said, I wish I could vote for a combination of choice one and choice two because that alignment has been used for several decades to progressively erode what's good in this country.
