1. It should not be the job of the government to provide health care to one citizen by taxing another. However, it would be appropriate to allow small businesses to band together in AHP's to help lower their costs.
That is practically the only function of government.
2. While some welfare reform has been made, it is imperative to end the welfare state in America. While welfare has helped some, it is abused by many and private charity is a much better solution.
Welfare state? Germany is a welfare state. America is as close to China as it is to Germany.
3. Abortion rights are fallacy found no where in the constitution dreamed up by the left. It is imperative that would protect every human life and treat it with dignity. If we can protect those that are most innocent, why have a government anyway?
This reasoning is nonsensical when combined with utter disregard for the already born.
4. The United States need to stop supporting Israel so much, yet it needs to not take Palestines side either. The conflict is not something the US should itself in. We need to completely cut foreign aid to both sides.
Agree on principle.
5. It is ironic that affirmative action was created because of racism, considering it itself is racist. Every student or potential employee should be looked on an even playing field. It may have been created with good intentions, but it is ridiculous in society today.
Agree completely.
6. Capital punishment is not immoral, but not something the United States government should be carrying out on its citizens
Agree completely.
7. Unions are incredibly detrimental to America and many government unions raise taxes on Americans. There is no reason to protect union workers on strike, and employers should be allowed to fire at will (fire then from their jobs that is)
I look forward to an 80-hour workweek, then.
8. It is important that the interests of the United States are hold first and foremost when dealing with world affairs. For that reason, it is imperative that the United States withdraws from the United Nations immediatley.
The UN is a tool of the United States.
9. While it is inhumane to treat gays and lesbians as second-class citizens, it is also absurd to afford them marriage. Civil unions should be left up to the state, but no marriage.
Cold-button.
10. The Soviet Union was an evil society and it is incredibly important that they were stopped before they were able to undermine America and do to us what we did to them
I'm too fond of Gorbachevism to agree with that.
11. Globalization is important for the economy and things like free trade and outsourcing should not be restricted. Let companies that practice outsourcing be judged by the people, if they don't like their products, practices, or services, they will not buy from them.
Except that the free market isn't picky.
12. Torture is acceptable if it protects national security, although should not be carried out except on POWs
Torture is never acceptible. How could it possibly protect national security? Any information obtained out of torture is by nature suspect.
13. The "war on drugs" wastes vast government resources that could better be used elsewhere. It is time that we legalize every drug, the economic and social benefits are simply astounding.
Agree in general.
14. Social spending should be cut drastically starting with the end of welfare and privitization of Social Security. Social Security should also be cut from people currently under forty years old. No new spending should occur unless a signifigant amount of Americans are helped, not a small few friends of powerful people.
Most certainly not.
15. Undocumented workers should be put on the next bus back to Mexico (or wherever their from), at their own expense of course. The millions of these people are brining disease and drugs into the country, along with exploiting our health care system and destroying our sovereignty.
And you claim to believe in the free market? The United States should be the last best hope.
16. The federal minimum wage destroys more jobs than it creates and should be abolished or set to an incredibly low amount. If someone wants to work for a lower wage, they should be allowed to wave the minimum wage requirement.
The minimum wage protects native-born Americans and especially immigrants, who have no means of recourse.
17. Income tax rates on the top 10 percent and everyone are far too high due to wasteful spending and unnecessary government programs. Taxes should be cut along with lower spending.
Completely disagree except for the wasteful spending part.
18. Military force should be used as a last resort to blow the hell out of other countries. No more expensive and live costing ground wars, nuke em' all.
Except that they cost many many more lives. Nukes are a danger to mankind.
19. Man-made Global warming is a hoax perpetrated by liberals to try and make a political issue
20. Our present leadership is protecting American interests aboard and should be given a thumps up sucks huge balls
Agree.
