1. While a nation should operate under the rule of law, a constitution is a piece of paper and we need a new one. For example, the Presidential model is what reduced our country to an effective plutocracy. We would be better off with a Parliamentary system. The latter favors coalitions and cooperation, while the former favors the broken two-party system we have today.
2. For practical reasons, abortion must be a woman's civil right. I disagree with the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v Wade, through I agree with the outcome.
3. The second amendment is also obsolete. It was intended to arm citizens against a federal army, but today such a prospect is lolz. It would be catastrophic if you allowed civilians to own tanks and machine guns etc. However, I agree that it should be a right to own guns that are effective for hunting and self-defense.
4. State's rights sound horrific. I enjoy the fact the bill of rights evolved to apply to my state and local governments as well as the federal government. I want a unitary system. It's much more efficient.
5. Agreed to some extent. The federal government too often reinterprets the constitution in ways that are disturbing.
6. I'm confused here. You are saying religion is oppressed? Excuse me? There is too much religion intertwined with politics. But I agree about the press. There is too much censorship, and a free press is essential to transparency and consequently good government.
7. Short of establishing a Parliamentary system, I agree with restoring senators to state appointment.
8. ???. Are you saying that representatives should never be pardoned for committing misdemeanors?
9. Fully agreed.
10. Disagree. A unitary system is more efficient, due to economies of scale.
11. I agree with you with regard to the bail out. Other times, a corporation (like one producing military weapons) needs to be highly regulated, or the government must seize a monopoly until it can be broken up.
12. Fully agreed. Govt unions must be destroyed without compromise or mercy.
13. "Czars" are necessary due to the increasing complexity demanded of the executive branch. Although, I agree with more congressional involvement in how they are selected and approved.
14. No. We need government agencies, and in particular those agencies. Although, some need considerable reform.
15. Fully agree. Transparency is essential for good government.
16. Short of a Parliamentary system, I agree as well.
17. A zero-based balanced budget sounds impossible. Moreover, a surplus is desirable as a savings for future expenses like wars. Of course, that surplus shouldn't be outrageous.
18. Most people are over taxed. Most people's taxes should be lowered, and the difference covered by the elite (people with hundreds of millions and billions). It's a fair request for the rent-seeking and insider trading they have been up to.
19. Fair tax = black market.
20. LOL? Sorry, I prefer to have more public services.
21. I agree we should do our best to limit inflation.
22. Agreed. Earmarks are ridiculous.
23. Some jurisdictions hire a private company to provide police forces. So government can't have police forces now?
24. I agree with adjusting many regulations. Ironically, the EPA has regulations that effectively defeat its purpose by giving some companies an incentive not to update their plants at all.
25. Eliminate minimum wage? Eh. That gives me some anxiety.
26. "Right to Work"? That sounds like something Brezhnev would say.
