How many people here would support a law requiring the purchase of a crappy corporate product for their entire lives if passed by a McCain administration?
None is just a guess. In fact there would be marches on the Capitol.
Here's what Wiki says

How the Heritage Foundation, a Conservative Think Tank, Promoted the Individual Mandate
Avik Roy 10/20/2011
Heritage did put forward the idea of an individual mandate, though it predated HillaryCare by several years. We know this because we were there: In 1988-90, we were employed at Heritage as a public relations associate (a junior writer and editor), and we wrote at least one press release for a publication touting Heritages plan for comprehensive legislation to provide universal quality, affordable health care.

citizen.org - TPP: Corporate Power Tool of the 1%
Here are a few arguments. Some will consider them "valid", some not.
TPP: Corporate Power Tool of the 1%
Have you heard? The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement is a stealthy policy being pressed by corporate America, a dream of the 1 percent, that in one blow could:
offshore millions of American jobs,
free the banksters from oversight,
ban Buy America policies needed to create green jobs and rebuild our economy,
decrease access to medicine,
flood the U.S. with unsafe food and products,
and empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards.

They can start with the 911 commission
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) obstructed our investigation.
Stonewalled by the C.I.A.
By THOMAS H. KEAN and LEE H. HAMILTON
Published: January 2, 2008
But the recent revelations that the C.I.A. destroyed videotaped interrogations of Qaeda operatives leads us to conclude that the agency failed to respond to our lawful requests for information about the 9/11 plot. Those who knew about those videotapes and did not tell us about them obstructed our investigation....MORE

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didnt bother to tell the American people.
9/11 Panel Suspected Deception by Pentagon
By Dan Eggen Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, August 2, 2006
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate....
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources.

9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says I dont believe for a minute we got everything right, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only the first draft of history.
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didnt have access . . . .

Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: It is a national scandal; This investigation is now compromised; and One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up.

It's a matter of storing the hydrogen
this guy claims to have the answer but we can't all build particle accelerators in our back yards.
In any case, imagine if a fraction of the money spent the last 10 years on M.E. wars was spent on
1. Methods and Materials for Electrolysis (Alternatives to Platinum, etc)
2. Hydrogen Storage
A search on Youtube for Solar Hydrogen brings up lots of interesting results
Remember that if you let the batteries in your Tesla go too low it's about $40 K to replace.

Now combine Hydrogen with the low maintenance of a Turbine engine and it's a whole new world
