I would be more interested in what the Democrats had to say about high gas prices if these were not the same people who refused to let us drill for oil in Alaska, imposed massive restrictions on building new refineries, and who shut down the development of nuclear power in this country decades ago!

Please note I'm not looking for an argument. I would like an unbiased answer to this question, if possible.

Today I told my teacher I would probably be voting for Hillary because I like her views on many topics I consider important. He said absolutely not to vote for her because shes a progressive, that she's trying to turn America into a communist country.

I tried searching for information on this (progressive, communist, Clinton) but don't quite know what to think. Could someone rationally and kindly explain to me what my teacher may have been talking about?

Reference sites would be wonderful. Thank you so much!

Question for Democrats/Republicans? Do you people choose your candidates for president based on the primaries or the conventions or both? I don't understand the point of having both a primary and a convention. Is that wasteful? I bring it up because this article:

Take the tax cuts. I keep hearing how the tax cuts were just for the rich. Well from the information I have gathered it seems that the rich pay most of the taxes so it would make sense that a tax break benefit them. Poor people don’t pay any income taxes and most middle class people pay very little. So what is wrong? Why the constant attacks against successful people?

My mother owns a house in Florida free-and-clear. When my father passed last August, my mother became sole owner of the house (she is also on the title). My mother/father have two sons: me (the youngest) and my brother (who is mentally retarded--he is qualified with Social Security as disabled). Both sons are adults.

My father left me the bulk of his assets (the majority being the funds within his brokerage account) in order to assist me with the care of my retarded brother in the future. My mother is okay financially thanks to an annuity and social security.

Thing is, I want to preserve these brokerage funds for the future. What if my mom ends up in a nursing home?

To protect these assets, I want to gift the brokerage account funds to my mother. Then, my mother wants to sell her house and parlay the resulting funds into a new, larger house. She would also then apply the gifted brokerage account funds that I give her towards the new house.

Will this protect our assets?

I want arguments from people who support the prohibition of marijuana. Also, is there a valid reason that alcohol is legal but marijuana is not?

“Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, vowing to ‘stop the revolving door from the streets to prison,’ pledged to invest $300 million as president into public-private programs for ‘second chance education’ and reintegrating ex-offenders into communities.”

Don't we already offer free education in prisons? I am just very leery of any politician who wants MORE of my money.....they cant even spend what they get effectively as it is, work on that and I might work on giving you more.

I didnt' believe it myself when I heard it for the first time, but when you look into it its totally creepy how they probably are the same person.
There are websites on this and more and more people are starting to question whether it might just be one person who is trying to have two separate personas.

The no pictures together - EVER - thing is a little weird, imho, espacially considering that "they" are both stars and would at some point have been in the same place and time.

the Mr. Hollands Opus stuff is intense too - like how mr. holland likes music and Elton John is a musician and two of the actors in the movie are from Britain.

One website I read also questioned the "Smile of Dreyfuss." This is, basically, that 'Richard Dreyfuss' rarely smiles, and never smiles with his mouth open - because that is how Elton John smiles and if "dreyfuss" did so you would see "elton's" snaggle-tooth.

Is it because they want to keep people poor in order to keep them dependent on the government? The new slavery.
