66. I view you as a Libertarian, somewhat like Aaron Russo.

I strongly disagree with fiscal conservatism. Those people want to take America back to the days before Herbert Hoover.

If I want a pizza let the private sector make pizza.

If I want to insure people against unemployment financial problems, define a livable wage, insure health care by single payer and make it for everyone, make sure products appear safe, make sure working conditions appear safe, take care of the poor, the disabled, the retired, the elderly I want the government to do it.

I don't consider corporations evil.

I consider corporations in some ways like automobiles. You need to regulate drving automobiles and you need to regulate running corporations.

In my view most Republicans and conservatives do not operate corporations ethically, nor morally, and some of those operate illegally.

I don't want an America where you have Bushism where people die in the Sago mines because Bush and Republicans do not enforce mine safety before the disaster occurs.

I don't want an America where people die from Prescription drugs because a Republican conservative FDA looks the other way and doesn't regulate prescription drugs and we get thousands of dead people from Celebrex and Vioxx , etc.


I don't want an America where people die in the Ford Explorers with Firestone tires because a conservative Republican congress does not want to regulate companies for auto safety.

I don't want an America which drug companies can price drugs such that pharmacies charge $150 a month but for the very drug that pharmacies charge $150 a month, an Austrialian pharmacy charges $20 a month for that drug and greedy US drug company executives pocket an extra $130 a month in profit.

I don't want an America where middle class people die because they cannot afford prescription drugs.

I don't want an America where people lose their homes because they got very ill and the medical bills continue but cost such that these people cannot afford to live in their home that they paid for any longer.

Telling the people to trust corporations, might look like telling people to trust burglars, robbers and murderers that police should not get tough with them but rather negotiate with them in order to lessen their criminal activity.

How many times have I heard or read about conservatives who want government to cooperate with corporations in order to recall a deadly product or to clean up a deadly environmental spill, or to stop greed instead of regulating and prosecuting them toughly?


Who appears the ones soft on crime? The Republican conservatives and the libertarians who make every excuse for not getting tough with corporate executives and other management.


If you trust such executives, so much perhaps you should move to the Republican party or the libertarian party.


Sure you night act liberal on social issues, but you only have one arm, while liberals have two good arms so we can make sure corporate executives do not get out of line.

I believe in capitalism, but not the Republican conservative version of capitalism.
