The key point I really like is expanding the earned income tax credit instead of raising the minimum wage. For the foriegners who don't know the EITC is a subsidy which the Federal government gives to every low income worker who makes less then a certain amount but only if they have a job and work. No work then you don't get any EITC. I like it because it rewards people for working instead of staying on the doll, it give poor people more money then if they were just making minimum wage, and it subsidizes employment since employers can retain more workers while not paying as much.

I think that is better then increasing the minimum wage though this would mean the cost is pushed off of companies and on to the federal government.

I think that is better then increasing the minimum wage though this would mean the cost is pushed off of companies and on to the federal government. Go back around and raise corporate taxes - well, eliminate all the loopholes and accounting games.

BTW, the whole Wal Mart thing is a fringe movement with the hippies. The facts do not lie, 90% of Americans buy stuff in a Wal Mart at least once a year. This company and country are closer than peas in a pod.

This is the platform that would win any Democrat any election:

unions
progressive tax
kill corp. tax loopholes
deficits
free enterprise (see: regulators getting panties in a wad over wal mart running its own personal bank. BOOO)

force a complete rethinking of how health care is run. And I think that would be a good thing. I don't doubt that... however, I think the people in charge (ie, Congress, the President, state governments) are too shortsighted to really figure out that they'd have to rethink how health care is run in this county.
