On to gun control. Now it\\the constitution states pretty clearly that the right to keep and bear arms lays with the people.The only place the gov't has in this issue is the punishment for people who do wrong with them. I can see registering as an owner but that is as far as it should go. No limits on how many or what kind. Heavy punishment for improper use and abuse. NO punishment for those that buy and use them with the respect they desreve. micro managment here is futile and clearly devisive.
Affirmative action has outlived its intended purpose. It has simply reversed itself in regards to race and I would target its purpose today on economic status instead of race. A simple jaunt that would solve many of the problems and abuses that AA brings about today. No we are not where we need to be today, but the current AA status is not moving ud forward.
Healthcare is another issue that is the same argument over and over. Obviously there is no simple answer here, but indeed progress can be made. First, I would break the strangle hold that the most powerful lobby group, the insurance industry, has on this country.That word beoadened this subject, but it is all the same to me. A percentage of what a person makes in income would be taken and then the govt or other designated payer would be the sole payer of all medical expenses and turn a sick care system into a health maintanence system. As for perscription drugs...well I think the FDA needs one hell of an overhaul and this would eliminate many of the problems we face today. If people want to buy drugs from other countries they should be free to do so.
Education, another keyword, should be the utmost priority. We pay the drivers of our garbage trucks more money than bus drivers that safely deliver our kids to school. Teachers spend their own hard earned dollars on supplies for the kids. This is unacceptable to me. Administrative costs should be seperate from teachers salaries in one section of the budget and kid related items be stand alone.I recently saw a blurb about a company that edits school books. They deleted a set of words out of a story problem that dealt with a mountain. Claiming that some kids were "geographically challenged". UTTER IDIOCY. No liberal or conservative slant should enter this arena and a clear message should be sent regarding this. Stick to the reading writing and arithmatic. Let the kids make up their own minds as they travel thru life.
Immagration is a touchy one for both major parties. I say it needs not be touchy for either. The fact is we have a border that should be respected. If it is not then thatis the problem for the one that did not do so. No pandering. I call for deportation for all illegals found. Babies born here to illegals would have no claim to cotizenship based on the illegal status of the parents.This eliminates the constant crap from both sides about breaking up a family and would detter others in the future from coming here to do just that. All illegals deported that have outstanding medical bills should take with them a bill address to vincente fox and the mexican gov't, not billed to medicaid. 70% of the USA population growth in the 1990's was due to immagration and that is just too much. American born people deserve first dibbs and today they are left standing at the end of the line. I do support legal immagration but it must be halted for a time. The INS or other body appointed to this task would be set up in this downtime and all immagrants and even visitors would have to follow the stringent rules put in place. If they do not like it TOUGH.....it is a privalidge to come here NOT a right.
ALL laws should not be based soley on prior rulings and there should be NO legistaling from the bench. Harsh penalties would ensue for this action. I would take away the right of the supreme court to avoid hearing tough cases and make them do the job they were appointed to do.
Moving forward with judges...lol....I would indeed like to see them work three shifts seven days a week like most other professions. I would stop the price fixing done by lawyers of today and install fair limits on fees they can collect.
Gay marriage...NOT A CHANCE, I do support the right of a man or woman to be gay and have a life committed partner. I do support their right to fair treatment under the law. They should be able to obtain a legaldocument thru the state giving them medical,inheritance, and tax equality. But it stops there. They can call it civil union or whatever they so choose. Marriage is taken and they have NO right to infringe upon others rights if they choose to operate outside of the definition of marriage. They were right to come out of the closet and should not be beaten in the streets, but they themselves poured into the streets with their parades and such...this i think is to far and they should at least go back into the house..in my oppiniojn they should go back into the bedroon and leave their sexuality there...as heterosexuals do.
jobs....always the frontline issue. Many jobs would be created by other changes made....border security would require many as other security issues would..posi comitatus would no longer be an issue. We need major border patrol and military is the way to go, at least to start with. Minimum wage should be set at ten bucks an hour more orless based on cost of living in a particular area.
Taxes....oh boy. I support a %17 flat one time transaction tax on all monitary transactions by all people all the time. This is a stand alone tax and no others would be enforced. A monthly stipend of 1000 dollars would be sent to all social security numbers eligable to recieve it on a monthly basisto offset basic needs and the transaction tax that would be incurred. No more IRS tax filings. But that infrastructure could be modified to regulate the transaction monies,their collection and dispursal to the govt. This would make all people voluntary taxpayers and if they do not wish to pay any more tax, they simply refrain from spending. Some will argue that this will stifle the economy and limit revenues. I say that americans will spend regardless and the more money they have to do so the more they will spend. Thus the economy will be volitile for a time but it will pass.Adjustments can be made in dollar supply to change parameters and avoid massive inflation and interest rate hikes.
There are many more issues but I will stop here for now. Enough targets for one post LOL.
real eyes realize real lies
Might I suggest that you research both sides of the issues, and find out all you can about what really motivates them to take the position they have. Look into their respective history's and see if there is any underlying, or unstated reasons for their current positions.
This will take you allot of time, but if you rally want to get to the heart of the matter and find a real solution to this problem, then you will gladly do it.
I believe that once you have done the necessary home work, you will discover that there is no compromise in the matter, and that fence sitting only displays a lack of core beliefs in the matter.
