Biggest issues you have for the American government and what you would do to change it?

Make gay marriage legal once and for all.

Enshrine birth control and abortion rights in law and penalize companies that do not provide medical support for pregnant women.

Begin to scale back the military so that the U.S. is strictly defence focused.

Leave all foreign countries including the Middle East but also Japan, etc.

Ban all handguns and require criminal and psychological testing for those who wish to have a gun license. Ban all guns including long arms within city limits.

Abolish capital punishment.

Thanks.

Point was u can just limit pcp and ghb sales for adults.

Counterpoint : nice in theory, but never works out in reality.

I just wanna know why we should make pcp, meth, heroin, and date rape drugs available in Walmart.

U ever tried meth? I have. Not a good idea to sell it in Walmart IMO.

Sell it. Sell it with the disclaimer "this $hit will kill you, it may kill you fast or it may kill you slow...it will kill you."

Then let the market decide.

Taxes are removed from my paycheck every two weeks. My paycheck represents payment for the work I do which takes hours, days, months and years of my life.

We live in a complex society that requires a certain level of State organization of resources and the enforcement of laws. This requires taxation of the populous.

But when tax dollars are taken from my paycheck to go to biased and rampantly liberal policies that frequently make the problem worse while enriching the connected and anointed, what you get in effect is the transfer of a portion of my life to go towards broken, inefficient, corrupt anti-solutions. In the individual level, this takes the form of: having to be away from family to take on a second job, or having to work an extra five years to be able to retire, or not having enough resources to help a sibling in a time of need.

This is not to say I'm against schools or bridges or firefighters - this is far from the truth. But that doesn't mean we should be paying for corrupt fat-cat city pensions, or inept Department of Education administrators, or unfair, market distorting subsidized housing. These programs had their place at one time but now they do more to enrich the choosen while punishing those trying to do it right.

I'm not for *small* government, I'm for *smaller* government.

Ultimately, we need to face the truth: rampant liberalism is gutting the middle class, stagnating wage growth, and destroying efficacious incentives - and yet the american population thinks that liberalism is the solution.

So when all the people get robbed for dope money, and people can't work, and we get crack babies, and people use emergency rooms like check ups nobody will have a problem with that? Who will pay for that?

Current system ain't perfect, but it's better than selling crack at Walmart.

?

Money should be completely out of politics. Campaigns should be financed publicly and all candidates on the ballot regardless of party size should have equal access to funds, televised debates and so on. No elected official or candidate should be allowed to take any money besides his/her salary and any expense accounts assigned to that office.

People rob others for dope money because it's so expensive. Why is it so expensive? Wait for it.....because it's illegal. Crack use can still be legal for the general population while being illegal for pregnant mothers. Also many addicted women could get help instead of hiding in fear of getting sent to prison.

Certainly there have to be some limitations of money in politics but getting it right is not easy.

Small jurisdictions that have tried public financing have found that it gives the most help to the most extreme candidates. That certainly isn't what we want.

People rob for crack and it costs $5 a hit.

People addicted to drugs don't work regular jobs. So they need to rob. It doesn't matter if it's less expensive. It destroys entire communities. Kids get neglected. People get sick and call 911 for every thing. The list goes on

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that pro legalization everything advocates don't work with addicts on a daily basis.

why not? If those are the candidates people really want why shouldn't they be helped?

What is your fixation with Walmart? Is that where you were raped or what?

So, bascially you are saying that you pay taxes which is OK but that you disagree with the decisions that the people of this country make (you know, the ones who elect officials) so you paying taxes is not OK.

Got it.

Yes, let's take money completely out of politics. If you work for a federal, state or local government or you receive any direct government assistance including welfare, EITC, food stamps or other welfare, you are ineligible to vote in elections.

How does that sound HRE? How can you expect these groups of people to make unbiased decisions when they are dependent on the State? I'd say these people are more bought and sold than any amount of campaign contributions could ever influence.

Insert name of store you go to where you see Walmart. Gucci? Armani?

Snob.

I am glad we don't legalize the date rape drug. That's just me.

It sounds like your usual nonsense and not worth bothering with.

Well, you really need to disenfranchise anyone who drives since roads are paid for by the government. Also anyone who owns any property since the protection of said property comes from the state.
