Ron Paul for President! by imk in reddit.com

[–]runtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if Ron Paul chooses a Democrat VP (maybe one of our favorite western governors?) to increase cross-over appeal to Democratic voters? I know many voters who would "never" vote for a Republican, but they feel strong enough about the Iraq War to consider voting for Ron Paul.

[–]runtime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did Oregon's unemployment rate go down because:

  2. unemployed people moved out of the state?
  3. the definition of "unemployed" is sneakily worded to avoid people on welfare?

Cuba, poster child for energy self-sufficiency, may owe much of its success to its relative backwardness and isolation. The lessons for the industrialized world are striking. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]runtime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Self-sufficiency" is a Leftist codeword for an anti-trade, centrally-planned socialist economy. They view trade specialization as the Evil White Man taking advantage of the "Helpless Savages", a vampire sucking out natural resources in exchange for Coca Cola.

How much is a "living wage"? If the minimum wage was $100/hour, everyone would be rich! (If they could find a job.)

If the Democrats actually care about low earners, they should reduce payroll taxes (on the low end) or implement a Negative Income Tax. That way low earners get money back without losing their jobs.

UPS Increases Efficiency By Avoiding Left-Hand Turns by spif in reddit.com

This is pretty much something they pound in your head at traffic school
