I'm against all of those things you listed.

I don't see socialism or marxism happening as many wide-eyed, paranoid right-wingers do, as portrayed by Fox News and others.

I do see the Party of No trying to stop any type of advancement such as health care reform, banking reform, infrastructure rebuilding, job creation, unemployment benefits, immigration reform, etc.

It's all NO, NO, NO without any meaningful alternatives other than "cut taxes", "cut regulation."

Again, no wonder congress gets such a low score.

You don't call the government taking over 1/6th of the U.S. economy in the form of "Health Care Reform" socialism? 1/6th of the U.S. economy; are you kidding me? What do you call it when the government requires you to purchase a product; in this case health care insurance?

What do you call it when the government takes over and owns the majority of the automobile industry in this country? Socialism mabye?

What do you call it when the government is attempting to regulate our entire energy and industrial output in the form of "Cap and Trade"?

And of all the things that we've listed here, can't you see that not one of them is good for our country? Our health care choices will go down while our costs go up; guaranteed. The amount of money invested in medical R&D will go down exponentially, making our health care stagnent, if not regressive.

Fixing our infrastructure is a good thing. But not at the expense of the taxpayers when our unemployment is at around 10% and holding. Not when there are not enough people that have jobs that will need to be able to use those bridges and roads when going back and forth to work. Not when putting people to work working on our infrastructure is only a tiny fraction of the unemployed in the country. Not when this work is being done on the back of tax payers as opposed to letting market economics work.

If Cap and Trade go into effect our industrial output will go down; our energy costs will go up; our unemployment will go up; and our competetaveness, (sp?), will go down against the rest of the world.

And by the way, cutting taxes increases federal tax revenues; boosts the economy; and by defualt creates more jobs. Cutting regulations does the same thing.
