20. You know, Congressman, I think that's a fine idea!

I think that the notion of "a country where it isn't even considered" is an excellent ideal to strive for. And the way to achieve that ideal is by doing everything the exact opposite of how you are doing things. We need to go 180 degrees from the "CONservative" way of governing.

That means tripling the minimum wage, Universal Healthcare, very high taxes on the wealthy, a social safety net with such a tight mesh, that nobody will ever slip through. And a million other things along those lines.

It means making this country so totally socialist, as to make the Scandinavian countries look like Somalia.

So, Congressman... I'm all for it! Let's do this thing! Let's remake this society into a socialist paradise, so that nobody will even want to consider abortion!
