The America I Could Love

As I wade through the refuse on the way to the primaries, I have been doing a lot of thinking about what direction I'd like to see our country take.
It seems to me that in order for a country to be a major world power and respected internationally that their priorities ought to be; (1.) educated citizens, (2.) healthy citizens, (3.) decent housing for all citizens. If we are going to borrow money from China don't you think we should make sure that we get the most value for our money?
I am tired of sending my taxes to a government that wants to use them to kill people.
I was watching Nova last night on PBS and the topic was the restoration of the Parthenon. They had found some ancient stones left in the rubble that were actually lists of expenditures made with public funds. Since Greece was a democracy, the posting of these lists was a law.
How far has the American democracy deviated from these standards!
It is no secret to those around me that I would like the United States to become more of a socialized country. We already pay farm and timber subsidies, so why not medical and educational?
Top notch educations for free or nearly free would make our citizens a force to be reckoned with. Those that do not want to go to college could still benefit from national health insurance. If we all had access to medical care, there would be more folks willing to take lower paying jobs that have no benefits.
Why don't our citizens deserve a home to go to? Why are our mentally ill forced to live on the streets? Are we all so caught up in trying to improve our personal lives that we forget about our own village?
Just, thinkin'...

I don't want to give my tax dollars to a government that kills and tortures people, perpetuates the gap between rich and poor, uses the tax money to convert people to Christianity, spies on you and me, and which suppresses science.

The Bush administration has caused me, a liberal, to not want to pay taxes!!! If we get someone in office who is responsible, I won't have a problem with it. As it is now... heh...

I agree about your priorities. They could apply for our foreign policy, too. I think education and tolerance are two of the biggest keys for our Middle East approach over the next half century, because now that the damage has REALLY been done, I think that is at least how long it will take to get things started on the road to recovery.
