I want a balanced approach. I don't want a far left socialist country, but I don't want the laissez faire greed fest that the GOP wants either. What I do want is a reasonable safety net that helps people get through hard times like this recession until we see a recovery. I also want a retirement safety net that is designed to be solvent and the proceeds of which CAN NOT be touched by Congress, except to be used to pay out the benefits. I also want the top 1% to pay more in taxes percentage-wise and in absolute dollars than the bottom 99%, because they have benefited most from this country, can manipulate the levers of power in this country to benefit themselves, and therefore, they owe more to the rest of us than the bottom 99%. In short, I want a centrist approach.
