How do you feel about Romney's foreign policy?

I constantly see it argued that dems will make government bigger.. etc. However, Raegan made more government jobs than Obama has. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/paul-krugman-ronald-reagan-barack-obama-keynesian-economics.php?m=1
What do you think is an acceptable amount of government jobs, if any? Do you think that a tax raise is ever warranted, note that Raegan also implemented the highest tax increase in history (at the time) in 1986. http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=488

Adjusted to inflation, our minimum wage is lower than it was in 1968. If it were to be adjusted to equal of 1968, it would be at $10.25 +/- $0.25 (I don't remember the exact amount). What do you think ought to be done about this?

The tea party is one of the largest government "entities," for lack of a better word. If you align with the tea party, how do you respond to Nader's questions: https://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/10/22-9.

Big business wants you to cling to a certain set of opinions and beliefs Beenthere. They spend hundreds of billions of dollars in order to have you believe what they wish you to believe. The very fact that you are incapable of understanding the question indicates that those billions were not wasted. All I have to say is, you are clueless canndo, you can't see that it is the federal government who is brainwashing big government loving sheeple into believing they are protecting you from the big bad free market.

What do you believe that big business would not want you to believe?
I've already answered that a few times canndo, please quit be disingenuous, I thought you were above that?

Remember my little essay about answers? The brown-highlighted text wasn't one. I would definitely refrain from using the word "disingenuous" in your case, since it does look as if you're projecting the term as a diversion from your own ... unwillingness to shoot straight. cn

yep. the guy who thinks minority rights should be put to a majority vote is also the guy who has uncovered a decades in the making conspiracy involving thousands of scientists in dozens of countries that even the skeptics now have joined in on.

be proud of yourself. remember, lemmings, eco loons, spotted owl, suicidal, rinse, repeat.

How much does the federal government spend on PR beenthere? Because I "can't see" what you are lead to believe does not make me clueless. Again, how much does the government of the united states spend on PR?
- you have yet to answer my question actually, you believe that misinterpreting it and answering your misinterpetation is answering my question. it is is not.


And I believe there are more questions for you to answer - I agreed to post only one at a time and wait until you answered the previous one first.

You claim that you always answer questions and that we who say you are not are wrong - in fact you scoffed at the idea that you never answer questions. So far you have answered very few and given a host of reasons why you have not. Is it posible for you to simply answer? there are folks other than me waiting.

What do you think is an acceptable amount of government jobs, if any? I can't put a number on that because neither you or I are privileged with information to make that assessment. Do you think that a tax raise is ever warranted, note that Raegan also implemented the highest tax increase in history (at the time) in 1986. http://mises.org/freemarket_detail.aspx?control=488

LOL Am I suppose to spend time researching the real facts behind the TEFR act of 1982 and sort through the BS slanted information provided by your copy and past link while you stand by and think you have accomplish something? I also believe that the bottom 50% of wage earners should have some skin in the game and pay their fair share!
Adjusted to inflation, our minimum wage is lower than it was in 1968. If it were to be adjusted to equal of 1968, it would be at $10.25 +/- $0.25 (I don't remember the exact amount). What do you think ought to be done about this? I believe minimum wage should be abolished, The vast majority of economists believe that minimum wage law costs the economy thousands of jobs and the fact minimum wage drives some small companies out of business.

The tea party is one of the largest government "entities," for lack of a better word. If you align with the tea party, how do you respond to Nader's questions: https://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/10/22-9.
First I will disagree with you calling the Tea Party a government entity, not even close Sparky!
And you posted a bad link.

Actually, Reagan raised the spending on the department of education, which he promised to abolish, and social security. Not to mention "drought relief," Medicare, and Federal entitlement. All of which you're against I assume?

When I said acceptable amount of Govt jobs I meant a percentage, should have clarified that.

There's a reason I said for lack of a better word. I don't know what to call the tea party, they are an entity that has to do with government... So that's where I got that phrase. What would you call them. Also, of you actually want to see the article, just google Nader 10 questions tea party. Something ought to show up.
