I would really appreciate it if you could pull your heads out of Reagan's ass long enough to listen to some points I need to make following your most recent debate:
1. Lowering taxes on the rich doesn't do a damn thing other than overburden taxes on the rest of us. I get that you want to create jobs. Great. Require business to apply for tax breaks with a proposal detailing how they're going to make it count. That way, you can make sure you're not just throwing money at people who aren't going to use it wisely, and so it can be monitored.
Also, the lack of jobs isn't the only problem. The lack of jobs that provide a living wage is, along with people not learning the skills necessary to excel at their jobs.
2. Stop messing with education. It's been proven time and time again that education advances cultures and people in general. It's your job to provide affordable education, or else our best and brightest are going to be America's biggest exports. Focus on science, not religiosity in our schools. The rest of the world is laughing at us.
3. Stop chipping away at women's health. It's not helping anyone and it's not going to fix any of your problems.
4. I'd rather be eaten by rabid wolves than live in a country where Michele Bachmann is president. Please don't let this happen. The entire world will laugh at us and, if she gets her way at all, we will revert back to the 1950s. Her role model is Phyllis Schlafly...the woman that worked tirelessly to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment, describes herself as an anti-feminist and once said, "If marriage is to be a successful institution, it must…have an ultimate decision maker, and that is the husband." Oh, and she also said that Roe v Wade was the worst decision ever made. Great role model.
5. Has anyone else seen the recent increase of energy-related commercials? Do not let these vultures gain any tighter of a grasp around the neck of this country. We need regulation. Without it, it's just a matter of time before disaster strikes. I want jobs, but not at the cost of our well-being.
6. I'm pretty sure universal health care will not bring about the apocalypse. Does Obama's health care plan need work? Yes. But everyone should have access to affordable quality health care. It should be a right, not a reward.
7. This one's to Rick Perry in particular: Global warming is real. The science IS settled. Same with evolution. You would know these things if you ever picked up a book or read a scholarly article. You can't get your science from Fox News. There are outliers, but almost all respectable scientists can agree on these two things. If something were to come along and disprove them, the science would definitely shift, but none such things ever has. Also, your use of Galileo in your response about climate change was in total opposition of the point you were trying to make.
8. Reagan is not your savior. For more info read this post.
Please keep these things in mind when you're attacking each other on stage the next time. We all know my vote goes to Obama, but I don't know about the rest of the country. If one of these clowns gets elected, the consequences will be toughest on the working class. "Let them eat cake" comes to mind.
