What do you want from government?

[merrily]

6. I think some of the items on your list

are covered by, on my list, Constitutional rights, clean air and water (which you are not going to get by dumping) and things like fairness to workers and a fair, progressive tax system

I didn't break it down as much you did because I am purposely trying to keep it simple and brief. My premise is that we keep being urged to contact this one and that one in government and "tell him/her you want XYX." However, discerning what we want is not that hard. they already know. They just are not giving it to us.

no privatization of public things--could that be covered by people in public offices including agencies, representing the general public and not lobbyists or big business?

Would you mind giving me a sentence or two about what you think state banks would give us or do for us that, say, credit unions do not?

Nationalized health care--I am going to edit my list to include something like that, but call it good health care that everyone who needs health care can access. Can you live with that?
