This shill is interesting, in spite of bogus conclusions, is raising some good questions:

"What are the secret plans for America?"
He says Democrats, but this conspiracy theorizing goes well for either party, and most of all for the party in power, especially the one that conceals 20 years' worth of possibly incriminating presidential papers.

"Remove responsibility for income taxes"
Who has the least? Of the top 50% with the largest incomes, he claims 96% of the taxes paid. How far from poverty are the remainder, and how many millionaires are in the "no taxes" category?

"Massive increase in Social Security taxes"
If the accounting manipulation is stopped, it won't be necessary.

"End the home mortgage interest deduction"
No one's going to do that. A red herring.

"Socialized Medicine"
Is a "giant step" towards socialism.
Actually, the AARP is making a giant step towards normalizing drug costs, and exposing the $28b taxpayer subsidy for drug discoveries that pharmas keep for themselves. I guess that's socialism for the pharmas corps.

"Pension tax"
Another non-issue

"Seizure of property"
That is an issue worthy of discussion. Except he doesn't discuss it, just claims it's a "Democrat" plan with no Republican supporters, without identifying such plans.

"Gov't control of education"
Hysterical rendition of the school vouchers issue.
There should be vouchers, if there aren't people will have to participate in their public schools and that will fix it anyway. It's a non-issue. Parent participation swamps the voucher issue every time. That takes positive constructive leadership and inspiration at the top.

"Gun Control"
The real sentence of value here has nothing to do with gun control, which won't happen anyway. It's this:
"...value and celebrate the worth of the individual and of individual freedom", and "Those who put the power of government over and above the power of the individual ..."
Both parties, but at this time especially the Bush administration is putting the all-powerful central government over and above the power of the individual.

"Destroy talk radio"
LOL! He celebrates the fraudulent ("I can't hear you! I'm deaf!") Libaugh, purely because he got ratings in the 90's, and neglects to mention the contract on American became a bust with the voters. It was fun while it lasted.
If the Fairness Doctrine allows the current demogogues on the air, but provided for people like Nader and much wider spectrum of views, I'm for it. Media control is a bit thick right now, with corp media solidly in charge of everything but the internet.
