Answer 1

I support a moderate form of libertarianism. People should have a choice about things. I favour a minimum wage but agree with free trade and tax cuts. I don't support the taxation of income trusts and would eliminate red tape for small and independent business. I am very capitalist but believe hard work should be rewarded and there must be guidelines on labour standards. Let people purchase private health care if desired but don't abandon a public system, however, more money into it is not the answer. We need to supplement the system with private clinics and private delivery of health care to reduce waiting lists. Actually, maybe I take that back. Somehow I fear 'Ralph Klein' style health care.

Say no to corporate welfare and high property taxes. Say no to duplication of services and union-oriented agendas. Say no to a lax civil service that provides services better taken care of by the private sector. Require a balanced budget and insist that money be spent on essential programs like subsidized housing, shelters for the homeless, public education, roads and health care. Say no to welfare maintenance for years on end and get corporations to take care of daycare for anyone who earns above the poverty line. I do favour a subsidy and tax benefits for families below the poverty line. It is better to move single mothers into the workforce and support them with public housing and daycare then leave them on welfare for years. The only exceptions should be women with disabilities with kids, under nineteen, women with disabled children, and ones in a rehab facility or with severe health problems.

Also, Yahoo! should spend less time censoring speech in general and spend more time ing down on public statements of against gays, ethnic minorities, women and Jews.
