It is time

It is time we gave into the "progressive" dogma and just gave the country up. People like CF have proven that they know best how to run the nation, and I think we should give it to them to run.

There is no need for conservative or liberal anymore. We are all "progressive". We all need to pay at least 50% of our income in taxes, and nationalized health care is the way to go. If you are making less than 25,000 per year, the govt needs to augment your salary to a living wage to be determined by Congress.

The environment is the top priority, and we need to eliminate all coal burning and nuclear power plants. All energy from now on should come from wind, solar, and geothermal. Energy rates that are sure to go up can be subsidized by the govt to a fair level for all.

All SUVs and big pickups should be outlawed, and gas needs to be at least $10/gal. There should be govt subsidies for mass transit, bikes, and walking shoes. There needs to be a movement from the cities to the rural areas so people can walk to work. Those "relocated for the greater good" are to be picked by Congress. This will eliminate the need for over the road trucks, so that polluting industy can be put down. Trains are more productive anyway.

Our troops should be pulled from Iraq, Afghanistan, and all of Europe and the far East. Our military spending should be less than 0.5% of the budget since the UN is now going to protect us. With such benevolence from the UN, we don't need our own military.

We need to encourage all immigration, and naturalize any citizen that crosses our borders and give them the same nationalized health care and minimum salary that everyone else gets.

Sounds like paradise! No responsibility, no worries, nobody upset with us.

Don't you all agree? Stop fighting! We are "progressive" now!!
