Neutral on it. I'm doubtful about implementing it on a naitonal scale witohut testing it in states so I'd allow california to have it.

LOL, California or New York seem to be the first to test everything out.

Some California stuff:
MTBE additive ban
Real workplace safety regulations
Stem cell research


Some NY stuff:
Only hands-free cellphones allowed while driving
Abortion legalized (1970)

I'm sure there's plenty more.

I oppose the hands free cellphone part. Its not the government's business to decide what kind of cellhpoens peoples use at any time.

Most people make pretty good parents. WIth that in mind, I would much rather encourage parents to spend more time with their child as opposed to encouraging parent to foist the kid off on someone else.

I agree.  To increase taxes in order to pay for universal child care could make it harder for many working families, and force parents to spend even less time with their children because they have to work harder to pay the taxes.  It could even force some mothers who currently stay at home into the workplace.  I don't think this is the direction in which we should move.

Hah, tax increases would be applied to high income people, dazzleman, as you well know.

You know, the working class does pay taxes you know - otherwise we wouldn't have money coming out of our paychecks and we wouldn't have to file taxes once a year. If you think that only the rich would be paying, you're delusional.

It would certainly be easy enough to devise such a tax system, if not for the fact that the rich are too powerful under the current system.

Since reality contradicts your point by your own admission, your point is moot.

This is opebo

I'm for a lower birth rate in general. We should improve the availibiltiy of contraceptives/condoms, better sex ed and let in more middle class/educated/wealthy third worlders instead of the poor teeming masses.
