> [@JEG](#): > > I think you are very confused on that one my friend. Legalization of gay marrage has been a liberal battle for quite some time. As far as higher taxes…also a democrat thing. Remember, republicans are all rich…why would they want higher taxation of their money? The democrats on the other hand love it. It gives them more money to found their social pet projects. Personaly I want to see welfare reform and tax reform. I have no problem with taxes, they are essential, but the way the money is spent is rediculous. Look at erie county. Prime example of mis handled founding. We have plenty of money, but they need to spend it more wisely. With the amount of people in this state and the tax revenue it brings in, there is no reason why we shold be in the fiscal state that we are in.

Remember when the dow was much higher than it was today when adjusted for inflation, the government gave a shit about the poor and the middle-class, we had the biggest SURPLUS, not the biggest DEFICIT in history, the government was going to focus on social programs, not bullshit wars, and we could actually fund stem-cell research?

> [@audios](#): > > wow yeah good call. i am moving that to the top of my list That was one of my big beefs with this administration was the infusion of religion into politics. So many of the conservative beliefs today are not shared by the conservatives of Reagan. Small government, privacy rights, small spending, fiscal responsibility, NO RELIGION IN GOVERNMENT… They have strayed from that ideology today. ---

Increase funding for education and lower student loan interest rates. Higher education is the only thing that will keep us from becoming China and India’s bitch over the next 20 years. A law that blocks the RIAA from imposing financial burdens on College students. An organization that makes it harder for kids to go to and stay in college just to protect their bottom lines and rich clients is downright evil. How about 20 hours of community service every time you’re caught stealing copyrighted material? ---
