1. Flat tax - close, but I prefer the Fair Tax, which is a set sales tax (I don't recall the exact number) on all retail sales for personal use.
2. This is a very typical Washington proposal. No real solid meat, just a blanket promise.
3. Not even close to a safe solution.
4. This is another blanket proposition. Some of our foreign aid is essential, other parts are not. You're going to have to be more specific to get someone's vote.
5. Since the government has no assets of its own, where do you suggest this money comes from?
6. I agree with this one. (See? I'm not completely against you! LOL)
7. Also agreed, but with very strict regulations to protect the population from disease.
8. Still agree.
9. If you didn't lose my vote on #4, you did here. Socialized healthcare would be a DISASTER for this country. I WORK in the healthcare industry, so I can assure you that I'm speaking from experience. A friend of mine is a physician, and she recently provided over $4,000 in care to a patient. Would you like to guess how much was paid by the government program that the patient participated in? If your answer is $65, you're right. The government paid for $65 of the fees, and told the physician and facility they had to eat the rest. Does this sound like a way to get your loved ones QUALITY healthcare?
