Let me first state, that you are heading in the right direction, but you’re veering slightly off to dangerous ground.

If Obama had balls and wanted to help fix America he would allow all out drilling and competition for drilling by american companies in the US. We have butt loads of oil here why not use it. He would allow tax breaks to Energy companies to develop safe Nuclear energy and clean energy to eventually take over when “our” oil runs out. That would help to solve the energy problems and hopefully aleviate oil prices. Put a law in place to keep oil companies from driving prices up. Or allow for more competition for American oil companies.

Nothing wrong with drilling, but instead of all out drilling private property of the mineral rights and oceanic property (people own the ocean) be developed so we do not run into a tragedy of the commons situation. This will allow for the demand and supply to properly adjust monthly drilling and prices. As well as, proper stewardship of the oil, basically companies not selling everything at once (Rothbard, Econ 101).
I say get rid of the horrendous tax code, if we should have a tax code anyway. Especially get rid of the income tax (think of the little people). If nuclear energy was feasible, then it wouldn’t need tax breaks, it would be worth the full investment. The housing bubble had tax breaks and incentives, too. We don’t need anymore of that shit.
Instead of making it impossible for the energy companies to make a buck, why don’t we deregulate the energy market and allow for them to compete. Keeping them from driving up costs will just make it so that they won’t want to put the oil on the market.
How about instead of telling people he is supposed to represent to fuck themselves, he could repeal the following congressional acts, plus more: Lloyd-LaFollette Act of 1912, Clayton Act of 1914, National Labor Relations 1935, &c.
The unions are basically entitled to act like little kids throwing tantrums without an ass whooping for their actions. It needs to stop.
Outsourcing is not the problem, we have been outsourcing since the day we step on this country. Taxing corporations who outsource is not the problem, the problem is that some of the things are not economically feasible to make in the U.S. Take the iPhone and iTouch for an example. It costs $4 to make it, we buy it for $200. It would take $200 to make the iPhone or iTouch in America, imagine how much it would cost to buy it.
However, I am sure (know for a fact) that if regulation was cut down (min. wage, child labor) that some factories would pop up in America.
I have no problem with this, if you want to know more about what I believe on war just read the Just War doctrine.
Bad idea, get rid of welfare and the war on drugs. Demand for drugs goes down, prices go down, drug lord’s don’t find it economically feasible to be running drugs across the boarder, at least not with guns. The immigrants that do come over here aren’t looking for hand outs, they will be looking for a job to support themselves and their family.
And, you can’t consider a private citizen’s actions an act of war, unless of course you want the entire world down your neck.

In essence stop being a pussy. Stop considering peoples feeling and letting shit get in the way. Look at what made the US great and try to get back to that.[/quote]
What made the U.S Great was growing hemp, cotton, corn, wheat, cattle and selling to the British, Spanish, French, and being a bastion for immigrants to come work for cheap in exchange for the hope of fulfilling their dreams while not being persecuted for their religious beliefs and economic freedom. Oh and a serious distrust for anything related to the state government, especially Federal Government and State government, they liked it local so that if the politicians tried to pull a fast one, their office wasn’t too far from them to go have a word.
