George W. Bush who may go down as the worse President in history for his act of war against the poor Muslim freedom fighters is one of the biggest mistakes ever made. After the Destruction of the Twin towers which was a blight on the view of many of us upper echelon folk from having a clear view of the river, talks should have taken place instead of war. We should have simply asked Osama Bin Laden and the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah to sit down with us and work out our problems. We should have taken the first step by withdrawing all of our presence in the middle east as we have no business being there in the first place. Israel is a nation that has no place in the middle east, it was taken from peaceful Palestinians who had no desire but to live in peace till the war mongering Jews started all this trouble.
We should withdraw all our troops immediately from all of Afghanistan and Iraq as soon as possible, let them work there own problems out, after all they are sovereign nations capable of doing what is necessary to keep their countries together!!
With our troop strength at its weakest in decades due to this mismanaged war, I feel the draft should be reinstated, of course as with the old draft their should be a way for our more educated children to continue their education instead of being drafted into the military no matter how long they decide to continue their studies.
I feel the richest of us are not contributing enough of the money the earn on the sweat and hard work of the common man and should be taxed at a much higher rate, anyone earning more than 500,000 a year should be taxed at the 50% level, if they have money and do not produce and their total worth is over one million they should be taxed at the 45% level. People making less than 50,000 a year should not have to pay taxes any higher than 10%, people making less than 25,000 a year should not be taxed at all.
We are not taking care of our own people health care wise, there fore I think we should have a universal health care system for the unemployed, and all employers should be made to offer health insurance at a reasonable rate, the employer paying 75% of the costs and the employee paying the other 25%.
All Oil companies should be sized by the government to help lower gas prices. The same goes for utilities. Car manufacturers should be forced to produced vehicles that get at least 50 miles to the gallon of gas, and alternate fuel sources should be mandated by 2012 period.
The minimum wage law should be revised immediately to 11 dollars an hour, no phasing in period, effective January First 2008.
We should withdraw from the United Nations and form a union of countries that are willing to work with America instead of against her.
We should stop all aid to countries period, they do not appreciate our aid anyways. No medical, no food, no money. Let other countries work out their own problems while we work on ours.
Religion should be abolished completely, all it does is cause division.
I believe if all my solutions are followed we will have a stronger happier nation.
Liberalman.
