The OP lost me at legal prostitution being "humane". LOL. Yeah, THAT is what is wrong with America. Those hookers don't get the same rights as others. Maybe we should have a hooker union and pay for their pension program. Then all of America's problems will be solved. Also, if you truly think that Hitler was a Right Wing Conservative, then a history book might be a good thing for you to pick up. If obama wins again, it is not because he is a good pres. It's because people are so confused.
Corporations have always had way too much power in the American system. This is the downside of pure capitalism. A very small minority amasses fabulous wealth, while the rest gets f***** over
In what way have they had "way too much power?"
"A very small minority ammasses fabulous wealth?" Do you know how wealth is created?
There are at least two ways I know of to create wealth. Both are very risky.
Start a business, and hope you are not one of the statistical failures. It isn't easy to start a business and succeed.
Smart investing. Also very risky. Invest in the businesses that others create, and hope they are successful.
I can't think of any other ways off the top of my head.
Wealth creation takes hard work, which is probably why people like you will never be wealthy.
Wealth creation takes planning, making wise choices, and tremendous risk.
One does not "amass wealth" at the expense of someone else! Wealth is self created.
What's wrong with you liberals is that you think one persons wealth equals another persons poverty. It doesn't work that way.
Get an education! Your ignorance makes an ass out of you.
Who knows why things make sense or not? Why are innocent kids kidnapped and killed every year, while you have a hateful beast like Rosie O'Donnell survive a massive heart attack
america doesn't like things that are good and humane for everyone, and that have been proven to work in other developed countries. They don't like universal health care, legal prostitution, mandatory vacations for employees, multiculturalism and a diverse population, younger drinking age, and the list goes on. Some say america is a center right wing nation, but I think it's far right wing. Obviously not as far right as say nazi Germany was, but still further to the right then it should be. Most other industrialized nations lean more to the left, and that's the way america should be. america's flaw is that it's waay too conservative and it needs to be more humanitarian.
The things in bold have not been "proven" to work anywhere. UHC isn't proven, I don't know what universe prostitution has been "proven" to be "good for everybody." And multiculturalism is the kiss of death for every nation that embraces it. As far as "mandatory vacations for employees" don't you think that's a private matter between the employee and the employer? If a company hires people and gives them no off time, bad health care, poor pay, etc. the employee is more than welcome to find an employer that offers better benefits. If that employer with bad benefits wants to retain good workers the market will soon force him to change his practices or suffer the consequences.

There is an argument to be made for legalizing things people already do, in order to tax it, add a revenue stream or three, and make it safer for everyone while reducing LE costs.
I'd rather LE pursue DV perps and assaulters instead of stoners, guys looking for escorts, or people placing bets on football through offshore accounts.
If Obama wins...and he will...it's solely because the GOP produced a vomit-inducing slate of candidates whose platform has migrated too far right for most Americans.
