Gordon,
I want a fiscally responsible government, collecting taxes from all who benefit from being citizens of this nation. To let the richest get a free pass, as they do when they pass financial assets such as appreciated equities on to future generations is a travesty of public policy. The rich are therefore getting the bulk of the benefits of the American system, while skipping out on paying their fair share for the benefits they receive.

I would greatly prefer we start to dismantle the monstrous military machine we are building. The huge military superiority we are building can only lead to megalomaniacs in the secret government deciding to flex their muscles across the planet. Guaranteeing centuries of resentment for American brutishness. This isn't a reasonable future for the planet. We need to control our base instincts for inevitably ineffectual and counterproductive military solutions to our problems.
