Does Social Issues matter when deciding your political affiliation?
#29
RE: Does Social Issues matter when deciding your political affiliation?
Public utilities are a good example of where I'd want to see a more liberal approach, for sure. There are, as you note, underserved communities that are not and could never be profitable. That's really the crux of it, if we kept it super simple. If there's money to be made in doing a thing - I think that our government should help private citizens make that money. If there's money to be lost in a thing - then that's a job for public investment.

Politicians legislating in their own specific economic interests is a good example of the corruption endemic to central planning. When you realize just how easy it is to keep on the good side of the law you realize that it's utter contempt at play. You can vote for the good of the coal industry, should you happen to own a coal mine. That's kosher. You just can't vote explicitly for your own coal mine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
