Jobs for Americans.

Raise minimum wage.

Fund education.

Respect privacy: med records etc.�

Make corporations pay their own way again.

Help US citizens, actually born children not just Iraqis and corporations.

Paper ballots!



So what is it that you Birches object to?

Why would there be a flame war? Surely reasonable people couldn't be against the things on MagicJay's list

Then why is the left so loose on illegal immigaration?

Quote:

Raise the cost of living and inhibit small buisinesses and eliminate entry level positions for unskilled labor.

Quote:

Fund education.




I'll note you said "fund" not "fix". Wash D.C. is one of (if not the) highest funded school districts in teh nation. It;s also one of the lowest rated.

Yea, Rush Limbaugh is for that too.

I agree. End corperate wellfare.

Quote:

Too vague of a position for me to really respond to. I believe the US does help it's citicens. Hence the fact that we have such a high quality of life even for the poor in America.

Yea, because we all know you can't commit fraud with paper ballots.





As far as a flame war? I think not. MJ put forth what he believes the lefs position to be. I voiced my objections and area of agreement. So let the reasonable discussion begin!

That's not really an "agenda," more a collection of vague slogans, some of which would apply to either political party.

About the only one that is sufficiently concrete to discuss, minimum wage, is already the subject of a thread.

I think there's also a thread or two where I explain that just because something is good for business (ie, "corporations"), doesn't make it per se bad for the rest of America. After all, if you want, "jobs for Americans," unless the "liberal agenda" means "every one must work for the government," you need healthy corporations.

Etc.

I think it fair to say that both ends of the political spectrum want to help all US Citizens. Where we differ is the methods.
