Would you elect me (Alanboy395) president on my views? (McCain, interstate, wages)

[The Dissenter]

Most likely i would run as a libertarian

My views on issues:

- Tell any company that wants a bailout, "Sorry, you made your bed sleep in it."

- Stop ovespending our tax dollars on stupid stuff and end earmarks period.

- Give a 2 year time limit on ESL education for anyone and make English the offical language of EVRYTHING, no drivers tests, govt info, etc. in other languages.

- Build our border fence, hire more security for our borders and ports, pardon Ramos and Compean within my first 90 MINUTES in office.

- NO AMNESTY and step up immigration enforcement.

- End free education and healthcare for illegal aliens, no birthright citizenship, no funding and massive fines for sanctuary cities.

- Bring out troops home and only use in cases of true national defense. Simpler words, butt out of conflict between other countries.

- Better tax breaks for companies who limit or eliminate outsourcing and create new jobs in the US.

- Drill offshore for oil WHILE funding research for new types of energy.

- Go after celebrites and CEOs. People who do the least amount of work for the most amount of $$$$$.

- Raise the salaries/benefits of troops and teachers.

- End abortion exculding cases of rape and incest.

- States can define marriage by taxpayer vote ONLY.

- Make concealed weapon carrying legal in every state.

With all of that may i have your vote?

You lost me only with

#Tell any company that wants a bailout, "Sorry, you made your bed sleep in it."- In theory its great but in reality the job loss could be brutal. It is one of those things you play by ear. I do subscribe to jail time for corrupt CEOs brutal jail time .

#- Make concealed weapon carrying legal in every state.

#- End abortion exculding cases of rape and incest. - I am pro choice 100%.

#- Go after celebrites and CEOs. People who do the least amount of work for the most amount of $$$$$. - If people want to pay their money to see a movie so be it. It isn't a crime to make money for not working other wise most if not all of S.Floridas politicians would be in jail lol.

Well I do agree with the majority of your platform. Here are a couple of things that I disagree with or have questions on:

1. I am Pro-Choice. As a side note, that is one of the issues that I always had with the Libertarain party.

2. I am curious as to what you mean by go after celebrities or CEOS? Do you mean raising taxes on the rich? If so that might be a sticking point for me. I am no where near rich and never will be, but I don't think higher taxes are the answer. Now if you mean going after CEOS who break the law and are unethical-I am behind that 100%. Could you elaborate what you meant by that?

The fact that you would end birthright citizenship and pardon Ramos and Compean and get tough on this illegal invasion is great as is your Pro-Second Amendment stance.

You certainly have a much better platform than McCain or Obama and would get my vote.

>- Tell any company that wants a bailout, "Sorry, you made your bed sleep in it."<

AWESOME on the surface until you realize if they dont bail out the banks it will have a Hooveresque domino effect. See the Great Depression.

>- Stop ovespending our tax dollars on stupid stuff and end earmarks period.<

Amen but unlikely unless you are running for dictator.

>- Give a 2 year time limit on ESL education for anyone and make English the offical language of EVRYTHING, no drivers tests, govt info, etc. in other languages.<

Sounds good as long as you dont claim your Italian ancestors (or whatever) ca 1910 learned good English. For 90% of immigrants that is NOT true. Their children learned good English. You need go no further than the ca 1900-1920 US census to see most immigrants did almost everything in their native language.

>- Build our border fence, hire more security for our borders and ports, pardon Ramos and Compean within my first 90 MINUTES in office.
<

Fine with me

>- NO AMNESTY and step up immigration enforcement.<

Fine with me. How are you going to get vegetables picked?

>- End free education and healthcare for illegal aliens, no birthright citizenship, no funding and massive fines for sanctuary cities.<

Fine. I think the birthright thing (anchor babies) is a bit trickier than you think tho.

>- Bring out troops home and only use in cases of true national defense. Simpler words, butt out of conflict between other countries. <

See what happens during Isolationism. Wouldnt mind alot less tho.

>- Better tax breaks for companies who limit or eliminate outsourcing and create new jobs in the US.<

You are WAY too vague here.

>- Drill offshore for oil WHILE funding research for new types of energy.<

BAH. drill till its gone. Also but billions into alt energy. I take the ALL OF THE ABOVE approach.

>- Go after celebrites and CEOs. People who do the least amount of work for the most amount of $$$$$.<

Please define this.

>- Raise the salaries/benefits of troops and teachers.<

Much too broad. Teachers in MS make crap. There is a waiting list to be a teacher in NJ (medium high pay and insane loony benefits*) and you have to know someone.

>- End abortion exculding cases of rape and incest.<

Im pro choice.

>- States can define marriage by taxpayer vote ONLY.<

There are interstate issues there about states having to recognize marriages by other states.

>- Make concealed weapon carrying legal in every state.<

OK by me. Same number of people will die but at least some of them will be criminals.

*not only teachers in NJ but many public employees get crazy benefits.

On CEOs, i mean making CEOs who take their company to financial h#$^ pay for all the jobs that will be lost and all the lives it will affect while those CEOs walk away with millions of dollars. That is my main objective.

And on celebrities, i've just never understood how someone makes $20 million per movie. Maybe i need to get over it.

[The Dissenter]

>- Raise the salaries/benefits of troops and teachers.<

Much too broad.

I would raise it based on cost-of-living of the area that teacher is living. In Alexandria, VA i consider a starting <$40k salary for a teacher an insult with the severely high housing and other costs here.

[Roaddog]

I would be listening to you for sure I like the agenda.

Thanks. I agree about your point on the CEOS. I noticed in yesterday's papers that some of the top people at Lehman will share a bonus pool of over a billion dollars meanwhile tens of thousands of people lost their jobs as Lehman declared bankruptcy. How can a judge approve the bankruptcy and still allow execs to receive over a billion? That makes no sense to me.

I too never understood celebrities making that much $$ for acting. It is amazing, isn't it? I guess as long as the public will fork over $$ for movie tickets, cds, etc it is going to happen. Years ago-celebrities and athletes were well off but not to this extent. I remember watching old baseball shows where baseball players had to get jobs in the off season and purchase their own equipment. What a different world we live in today, huh?

Lol I agree but if people are willing to pay to go see them or buy their music than so be it.

I like movies to but only if I think it is type of movie that interest me. I don't have a desire to go monthly even yearly if nothing is out just for sake of going.

My sister goes every week regardless of the lame garbage that is put out there . Yes she is a celeb lemming .

Mostly I agree with you. I have a libertarian attitude toward personal freedom and a socialist attitude toward economics.

Thing I disagree with is that Abortion is a personal decision. The government should stay out. Marriage is another. Carrying a firearm is a third. A citizen should be able to be armed when and where ever they deem necessary. Only the adjudicated criminal and insane should not be ale to own or carry weapons.

I would regulate off shoring by imposing a confiscatory tax on profits and products made off shore. The tax would eliminate profit and the tariffs the advantage created by the differences in labor, safety and environmental costs.

I would also restore the income tax to the progressivity set during the 1930’s. That would discourage the corporate looting by over paid executives. Plenty of people would still do the jobs just for the power. That is almost better than money.

Movie actors get millions per movie because of a really good union and great agents. They would also pay in the top bracket which would give them a lot less money for their cocaine habits.

I also would stay out of Imperial wars and colonial disasters, ours included.

I would strictly limit immigration, particularly of professionals to keep the wages up. The programming and lettuce picking would cost more but would be done by the kids of previous immigrants.
