I am with you on that front. It always struck me that when the tea party struck they focused on the 1% of racist and extremist in the media. But when occupy wall street occured, despite having an absurd number of condlicting ideologies between those attending they received very little criticizm. What I want out of a political party is both social and economic freedom. |
Ditto. I lean conservative myself, but I don't really mind safety nets if they're put together smartly. Take Obamacare; many of the ideas were decent, but no one writing the law did research on what the effects would actually be. Most minimum wage jobs got cut back to 30 hours a week, and millions of plans got cancelled because our politicians failed to ask McDonalds, "what would you do if you had to pay healthcare for every employee who works more than 30 hours a week?"
Is doing some basic due diligence before passing a bill which affects 300 million people too much to ask?
On the elections, I like it when the president is one party and the legislature is the other. When people bicker, less gets done, and when less gets done the rest of us can just go live our lives in peace.
