forcing people to have free health care? really?
> property, banning short-sales of stock.
but, isn't that part of the blame for the crash?
> raising the minimum wage,
should we bann unions, too, and return to child labor?~)
> banning internet gambling
regulate it instead. government control instead of mob so the revenues help
reduce taxes, which can be used for things like alternative energy.
> restricting offshoring,
save the pla net!~)
> supporting a bailout of the financial industry
here we agree, i say let them go under and bail out people who are losing their
homes!~)
> using taxpayer money,
for wars?~)
> windfall profit taxes
what's wrong with that? better to tax the rich, don't you thinK. they can
afford it.
>price ceilings on gasoline,
here i agree, tax gasoline more, and use the revenues for alt energy!~)
>repealing NAFTA,
how about a FAIR trade policy?~)
> farm subsidies,
i say subsidize small family farms, NOT agribusiness.
> banning smoking,
no, but i believe the government should take over the tobacco industry for
fraud and use the revenues to discourage, detox and treat smokers.
> trans-fats,
definitly, and regulate the entire food industry so health priorities out weigh
profit motives
> Huh?
are you in opposition to broad notions of regulation, economic and social
justice?
