Maurice -

First of all, what offers validation to the premise that our country's government inherents the form of a democracy. In my years of studying the Constituion, our country is a republic more than anything. Your inclination to label Hillary as a Czar is on point as our government could be defined as socialist if she takes office and enacts the social legislation she is touting. Do a little math and you will understand that our country can not fund the sort of expenditures needed to enact her policies.

What needs to happen in this country and any true student of politics would understand this notion, is less government. Our founding fathers, John Adams, fought to strike a balance between state and local and the federal government as only the local and state government can truly cater to the needs of the citizenry. Hillary only wants to the continue the expansion of government that Bush has started.

Pursuit of life, liberty and happiness for me is little government so I can live my life to my notions of satisfaction.

My biggest problem with the Gas Tax Holiday is that Senator Clinton wants people to assume that the pennies saved each day will be put aside for something other than buying more gas.

If you spent $20 last week for "x" number of gallons, you will spend the same $20 this week for "x plus" number of gallons if it cost pennies less per gallon. In other words, you simply buy more gas with the same $20. You do not put away this week the potential pennies saved by buying the same number of gallons you bought last week, you just buy more gas this week for the same amount of money.

It does not take an economist........

We elect representatives to represent us, that is, to do what is good for us. If our leaders sit idly by and watch, wait, and then do nothing about the detrimental economic impact of individual and corporate actions authorized by laws they themselves have enacted, they’re not doing their jobs, and they have breached their obligations to us under the Social Contract of Democracy. Hillary Clinton understands this.

It is time that the moral obligations inherent in the Social Contract of our Democracy be enforced by our federal government. Darwinian economic policy based on the notion of “survival of the fittest” breaches the commitment that our government owes to us. Hillary Clinton understands this. She wants to appoint a Poverty Czar.

American economic policies, at home and abroad, affect the welfare of many, many people and, as such, should be governed by moral principles, not scientific ones. Too often our economic policies benefit the few at the expense of the many and take the form of “untrammeled greed.” When our government leaders allow this to happen, whether it be through their own actions or their inactions, they have relegated us to subjects of the state and have stripped us of our rights as citizens to effectuate through government our “general will” for the common good. Hillary Clinton understands this. John McCain does not.

We have seen this all too often under Republican Party rule over the past several decades. The home mortgage crisis, lopsided “free trade” arrangements, and the health care crisis are just a few examples prevalent today. The health care crisis is perhaps the most egregious example of nihilistic Darwinian economics yet — where our own family and friends’ health, well-being, and even lives are at stake. Survival of the fittest and the extinction of the unfit has become a depressing and fatalistic reality of life for many Americans. Hillary Clinton understands this. Barack Obama who supports less than universal health care does not.

Hillary Clinton ‘08 — Because she cares enough about all of us to want to solve the crises facing us.

Young skulls full of mush...at this age, they think they know it all, but the sad part is how naive they are, and how they have been indoctrinated by government screwls.
