I am just wondering what all of you Left Wingers really want? What is your perfect world? What is the final plan? AND just how much should taxes be to pay for all your "dream programs"? or how do you think it will all be paid for?

I sit and watch all the name calling and the bitterness and passion you people have for this cause. OK so lay the cards out...what is it that you want and who should pay for it. What will it take for all of you to just shut up, be happy and quit attacking?

I will be happy when all who supported George W. Bush and still listen and give credibility to Dick Cheney will take up charitable liberals offer to relocate to North Korea. One free plane ticket will be provided to you

You probably will not get a serious answer. because their perfect world is only a shadow in which they can not focus or define.
The liberals that will respond will do so with venom and stupidity as we have already seen.
For a liberla to have a perfect world he/she must have a conservative to hate and spew their hate to

Very noble question Jenny. Unfortunately, you will not get any noble answers.

All you right wingers do, is snivel about taxes. Your opposition to most ideas comes from one basic thing, you might have to fork over some taxes. Talk about greed.

Well, we all have to pay taxes. In fact, my property taxes are almost due and though I can afford it, I'm going to take a hit...but the difference between myself and those on the right, is even though I'm paying taxes for services I don't even use, such as public schools, I'm happy to do it because I know it helps out many of my fellow citizens and it's for the greater good.

To put it in a nutshell, the left cares about their fellow Americans, the right cares about themselves..

How is it a 'noble' question? Jenny has earplugs in when it comes to who is really doing the attacking.
What do I, as someone on the 'left' want? Fairness, understanding and some little acknowledgement that a humane country does not let some large proportion of its citizens suffer needlessly when there are alternatives. I would also like some little recognition of the fact that some huge proportion of the population suffers from 'I got mine, now get lost' syndrome but scream the loudest when it looks like someone else is gonna get 'some.'
What do you consider 'dream programs' OP? Medicare, SCHip, free public education, voluntary military service?
24/7 police and fire protection? The 'best' healthcare system in the free world?
What would you have denied the populace of earlier generations? No workplace safety laws? Ever heard of the Triangle Fire? No food inspections? Any idea how many people died from trichinosis? No vaccinations? Know anyone who suffered with polio?
Which of these would you have voted against?

I don't believe that there is a 'perfect world', at least not here on this plane of existence, however, I believe that there can be a just world or at the very least one in which we handle ourselves with a little decorum and humility intead of constantly acting as if we are auditioning for a spot on 'Jerry Springer.'

I think the question was what do you want and how do you plan on paying for it. Who will pay will we all pay and how much.
That sounds like a reasonable question. Or is that something that you think most americans would have a hard time understanding.
