Re: What has influenced you to your current position in politics.
Working for "the man" for 7 years has left me a little bitter. I now hate pretty much everything about big corporations and feel as if every decision from our corrupt government makes it easier for big biz and harder for individuals.
It makes me sick to think how far out of touch most politicians are, like they are betraying humanity or something. Going from Bush to Clinton to Bush to Clinton for 24+ years doesn't give me much hope that democracy is working either.
Thats why I am a libertarian. Thats why I support Ron Paul, one of the few politicians who I think hasn't yet sold out. I don't even agree with a lot of his views.
I really think the American people need to hear each presidential candidate answer this question at the debate.
"If the country gave you $2 billion/week from taxes, and that all you were allowed to spend would you choose to spend the money to help citizens in this country or continue to pay for a mess of a war in Iraq?"
