1) I have a huge amount of student loan debt. I made the mistake of going to college. That debt being forgiven would be awesome, but I'd settle for a better educational loan system.....
2) My truck is in the shop, I need around $400 to get it out. I can't afford it...
3) My truck costs are killing me, insurance and gas cause me pain.
4) I have two dead end jobs. I'd like to have a nice-like job...something that matters, and enables me to live well. (Hard to come by for someone just out of college in this age...) Help in that area would be appreciated.
5) I think the biggest focus of society (any, but ours specifically, since I have a say) should be to progress technology towards two ends, life extension and space colonization. Common resources should be thrown at those endevours...it'd provide jobs and more importantly, as humans, I think it's our duty to do so..
6) Lots of people in the middle class are having a hard time. (My mom...) This, I think needs to be addressed.
7) I don't agree, fundamentally, with the way land is distributed in this society. I'm more of a georgist...
8) I think there's way too much red tape...things need to be streamlined imo
9) The laws as they stand don't seem to mesh well with technological advances, that is, it's too easy to find yourself on the wrong side of the law just by doing something stupid online...there should be a more concentrated effort to have those two fields agree more...(I don't think sopa and fipa solve the fundamental problem...don't think those efforts will work anyway..but I do agree that something needs to be done...)
10) Going off the last point, 'online cops', a trend that is happening more and more, is worrying..I don't agree that you should be policed online...not to those extremes at least.
11) Again, going off the last, the way the police trap domestic "terrorists" is just wrong...that needs to be stopped. You can't give a person a gun, tell him to shoot someone, then punish him for doing so. (You can, but it's wrong on your end to do so..)
12) I'd be ok with having state laws take precedent over federal laws. Either way, that dichotomy needs to be addressed....you can't have two sets of laws you have to follow.
13) Lastly, when you go through the drive through, and you order a soda, and they give you a cup of flavored ice....that's, quite literally, highway robbery, and those guilty of that need to be punished as severely as possible...

So yeah, those are my positions....
Who'd be better to vote for, then? Obama or Romney?

EDIT; oops wrong subforum, mods delete please...
