I would rather it be other issues, because this issue of whether we should be fair or not shouldn't even be on the table. But, since it is and since it is a huge distraction from other problems lets run with it. Then maybe just maybe we can focus on the economy, national security (removing troops from the 100 plus countries they are in so they can protect us here), foreign policy(we should stop letting corporations use slave labor), and making the world a fairer place.
