<p>The quick blurb on Sarah Palin said she suports gun rights, is pro-life and pro death penalty, anti gay marriage and does not mind if creationism is taught in schools so it got me thinking on the following issues where does the CC crowd fall.</p>
<p>A)Foreign Policy/National Security/Iraq War
B) Energy
C) Tax Policy
D) The Deficit
F) The Role of the Federal Government
G) Health Care
H) The “RIGHTS”- Civil, Gay, Womens, Gun, Parental and Religious
I) Fixing Social Security</p>
<p>Feel free to add others I bet most of us our not to far apart.</p>
<p>A) support democracy but do not try to create democracy, push for civil and human rights against government oppression- I felt the war was a mistake from the start and we need some type of exit asap.
B) Energy- incentives to decrease our need and use of oil
C) I like a progressive flat income tax with a set amount say $50 k that is not subject to any income tax- anything over $50k say 20% with no deductions. I also would lower SS taxes to 5% for the employee and 5% for the employer but raise the cap to $500k
D) I hate deficits but would rather see spending cuts to get there- cuts in Farm subsidies and military cuts suit me fine
F) Lets have a discussion as a Nation- it can not be all things to all people but it should offer the same thing to all people. I feel the Federal Government has a favored class. ( it is not the poor)</p>
<p>G) Health Care- let individuals buy into one of the many government systems- State or Federal with a possible low cost plan, with higher deductibles - taking the insurance industry out of the picture. All government plans are self insured and the Insurance industry only serves to process claims. I believe this will push down costs</p>
<p>A)Pick a plan that works, and stick to it!
B)Government tax cuts for alternative energy sources seems like a decent idea
C)Less is more–simplify the tax code
D)A balanced budget would be a good place to start! (reform government spending processes)
E)?–The invisible is hard to quantify
F)Protector of liberties and provider where and when the free market fails (i.e. defense, infrastructure, basic level of care so people don’t starve, etc)
G) Government provided basic care for those who need it.
H)Pro civil, gay, religious, women’s, and gun rights. Personally pro-life but waivering on government involvement. Parents rights–not too familiar with the issues.
I)The premise for funding is broken. Privatize/subsidize would be a decent step, IMO.</p>
