A house= that solar powered with a geothermal heating and cooling

College Education =of my choosing not where I have to go

Standardized voting system under federal control= so all votes can be counted

public option heading towards single payer= if i had known about my disability earlier things might have been different

and of course lifetime invitation to Fashion week in New York Milan and Paris

51. 20% flat tax to corporations with the following caveats
Fri Nov 9, 2012, 06:02 PM
Nov 2012

If you keep your profits at 20-25% and executive salaries within $500,000 of your highest paid employee. If you do not outsource. If you keep all earnings, investments, and corporate earnings in <non-sheltered> the USA. If you allow a percentage of random regular employees sit on executive boards with full voting rights. If you meet all this you get the lowest end of the flat tax. No exceptions no loopholes.<possibly a probationary period hence the 20-25% range> Now if you choose not to abide by this you are awarded:

All earnings taxed at 70%.

I have some details to work out but what do you think?

I want several things, all of them promised during the first campaign in 2008. I want the the torture facility at Guantanamo Bay closed. I can give him a pass on that because the Rethugs screwed him by denying him money to relocate the prisoners. I want the PATRIOT ACT abolished. I have a harder time giving him a pass on that, because he signed the reauthorization bill. The next time it comes up, I want him to VETO the damn thing.

I want to see some action on Amnesty. I am sick and tired of being in a nation where millions of people are hiding in the shadows because they are brown.

I feel dissapointed in the thread and the site, because we were the ground game of the re-election effort. We need to let the Washington Elites know we're serious when we say we expect action.

  • My own apartment...with a real kitchen...and a library.
  • A $10000 gift-card to Trohv. (What? Spending ten-large on hipsterish home decor is stimulative.)
  • Health Insurance (Oh wait. Obama already gave me that. Thanks Barack!)
  • Books.
  • Government job. (Mayor Barry used to hand them out here to all askers but I was in HS in CT at the time.)

The removal of the cap for FICA taxes.

A liberal Supreme Court
A public option


I guess I do want stuff. Now, please.
