[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope it is:

1) increase taxes on the 0.1%
2) fight carbon emission
3) strengthen Obama care so that the working poor  (to me, anybody who makes under $60k/year, which is half my yearly salary) won't go bankrupt with one health problem[/quote]

1) that may make you feel better, but won't change a thing.
[b]2) the more obvious way is to increase gas taxes. Have the guts?[/b]
3) obamacare is the most inefficient and expensive way to accomplish that job. With half its cost you could give catastrophic insurance to everyone in the country for free

Gas was over $4 a gallon at one point. It's now around $2.20. No one went nuts when it cost almost twice as much as it does today -- so yeah. Add a couple bucks to the price of every gallon to save the earth. I'm fine with that.[/quote]
DH and I would be fine with that, but my god, how horribly regressive for people on the edge.[/quote]

Anyone with a long driving commute who is trying to make ends meet.

If someone chooses to live in Sherpardstown to commute to downtown DC, they are making a lifestyle decision. Not everyone is entitled to a 4 BR house on an acre of land. [/quote]

What about the people living in a double-wide who have a long commute? Not exactly “lifestyle” choice. 
[/quote]

They should have taken advantage of the free education offered to them and put themselves in a better position. But what they don't have is a right to have the rest of the world subsidizing their poor life choices at the expense of the health of the air we breath.[/quote]

That's exactly what we should tell the poor.

Stop b#tching, just make better decisions and a paying job.

Glad to meet a fellow conservative on DCUM.[/quote]
