Let's talk about 'The 800lb GORILLA IN THE ROOM'. Which kind of goverment do you want, Pro-Communist or Pro-free market?

If we can keep jobs in America then the free market can start to thrive.

Dream on. With most politicians being liberal progressive elitists our government will always have a distinctly socialist vent.

No, I want it all you fool.

I like what America was founded on...

Nothing less than that is the American Way.

This is silly, do you prefer corporate welfare, or your taxes going up to pay for the taxes loop hole proposed by Ryan?

I prefer that over COMMUNISM!!!!

You do not even know what communism is though..Your supporting the same policies but in reverse for the Rich. Is it still communism then?

and smaller government...
and less welfare..

Something more European and centralized, there are many economic philosophies I like so a mixture of the best characteristics of Economic Democracy, Keynesian Capitalism, Georgism, Binary Economics, and or Democratic Socialism for the economy. I've thought about Neo Mercantilism but I don't know enough about it to say I like it or I don't. As for government policy I want a federation of government that is a secular state and a representative democracy.

We need Romney,exit emporor obama the jail him for crimes against the Constitution.

Obama's irresponsible socialist policies are traitorous.

Here's Obama in all his glory talking about the fact that: "Hey, I believe in redistribution." Marx's words you have..."From everyone according to his abilities to everyone according to his needs."

Here he is from 1998 at Loyola University here in Chicago:

you're only giving us those two choices? we need some government regulation of commercial activity - without regulations, we'd have big manufacturers dumping poison and toxins in our backyards the way they did before the EPA ...

Can't you COUNT? There are 4 Choices there, and one is Undecided (that you chose) the BLANK SLATE!

ops! OK three ... still, there are OTHER possibilities than the 3 choices provide ..

I think you also have to ask yourself who you want to remain competitive with. You can either try to compete with European and Scandinavian countries that survive on the world market thanks to decent public school systems, highly skilled labor and superior public infrastructure. Or you can cut down on your standard of living and try to compete with cheap labor countries. Right now, the U.S. appears to be smack in the middle of these two options.

Can't you COUNT? There are 4 Choices there, and one is Undecided (that you chose) the BLANK SLATE!

NOBAMA,NOCOMMICRATS.........

So are Great Britain, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Brazil and the list goes on and on pro communist? All of them care for their people. The United States is the only modern country in the world that does not have Universal Health Care. They all spend much less money than we do. They all score as well or better on health care. I have been in health care most of my life. I do not take those statistics lightly. If you are in a room with intelligent people and they all have a different answer than you the chances are you are wrong not them.

I tend to agree with you, but I disagree with the rosy universal health care picture that people like Michael Moore are painting. That picture might have been accurate during the baby boomer years, when massive population growth caused massive economic growth. Back then, it was "Chronic back pain? Off you go to a health resort. Enjoy a nice four weeks vacation paid by your health insurance".

The system started to crumble when our birth rate dropped to 1.4 children per woman (probably because 1/3 of all pregnancies are terminated nowadays), while our life expectancy went up 80+ years. Nowadays, our overaged society has reverted back to "Oh, you can't afford the co-payments for dental prostheses? Good luck trying to survive on soup". Things might get even worse due to the crumbling world economy and the Euro crisis.

The U.S. should have implemented a universal health care system decades ago. If you had done that, now would be the time to start dismantling it in order to save money. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you first need a strong economy before you can tackle social security and universal health care.

Our elderly and many of our citizens can't afford dental care and it's not even been thought of for the new Affordable Health Care Act which really is just another payday for private insurance companies. It is a crime that in one of the wealthiest country in the world there are people who can not afford health care. It is our greatest shame.

Pro free market hands down. I don't want the commie regime that we've got going on right now.

No contest, pro-free market also means you are FREE.

Amen to that one my friend.
