Opinions

chidi1992 Capitalism is not the most effective economic system. I support hard work and the returns that go with it but some capitalists have no conscience they're ready to eat others.

Dan Michener The economic stimulus plan should not include a 'Buy American' provision. I don't think in the age of Globalization that is attainable.

David Sinclair Corporations should not pay heavier taxes on windfall profits. A "windfall" profit by definition says you did nothing and turned a profit. The fact that they are in business and working automaticaly proves that Obama and the dems are uneducated. This coming from me!

John Williams Lehman Brothers should not have been bailed out by the federal government. They got in the mess, it is their problem, If I have a small busines, and fail, Uncle Sam will not bail me out.

Sherry Michalski Capitalism is the most effective economic system. AND WE NEED MORE OF IT INSTEAD OF SLOWLY MOVING INTO SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM

Jason Newcomb Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. No subsidies for any Farmers

Gretchen Ruby Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. free market baby. They have a product that they can sell for more.

Nancy Galloway Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. I think the whole agricultural subsidy issue needs to be rethought, as it obviously isn't serving the purpose for which it was devised.

Joe Kelliher The Sarbanes-Oxley Act should be repealed. the opposite has occured from the intent ... Excesses of the government create more opportunities for abuse by the crooks.

stopbarrack2009 Capitalism is the most effective economic system. i think that speaks for itself, America is the greatest nation ever thanks to capitalism.

Paddler Tim The government should not regulate salaries of companies who have received bailout funds. They should not have recieved bail out funds in the first place!

Nino Colarossi Capitalism is the most effective economic system. competition always makes us better

Clifford Cloonan Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. "organic" farming should be regulated for safety just like every other agricultural endeavour but not subsidized. If there is a market for "organic" foods why would they need a subsidy?

Bryan DePoy Capitalism is the most effective economic system. capitalism can grow a nation to great wealth.Ronald Reagan proved it but people in Washington cant look back at past history and recognize it

Patricia Schroeder The U.S. should allow foreign ownership of its airlines. who cars

Iron-man Capitalism is the most effective economic system. It's not perfect but it works

Russell Hinton Lehman Brothers should not have been bailed out by the federal government. let the system work if you make bad investments you loose

David Schaefer Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. Isn't all produce organic?

JWil Congress should not increase the federal minimum wage. There shouldn't be one at all -- the free market economy sets wages and demand for jobs will raise or lower it accordingly.

Mitzie Borders Capitalism is the most effective economic system. Not sure on this one

Kimberly Mockert Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. although i am for organic farming as i beilieve being a gardener myself that we can farm without nasty chemicals, i think we would be better served putting stricker regulations on those that use the nasty chemicals. i do believe in being a good steward to this planet

Christopher Segur Capitalism is not the most effective economic system. true capitalism would be,but we don't have that.

Adrien Taylor Capitalism is not the most effective economic system. It depends upon the cultural and political history and climate of the society in which it is practiced.

Bill Leonhard Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. Stop the subsidies.

Jo Tweed Capitalism is the most effective economic system. Can't think of any other economic system that is better

Bob Touchston Capitalism is the most effective economic system. Absofrickenluteley!

cozmosay The economic benefits of a weak U.S. dollar do not outweigh the costs. What are the benefits.

Dean Beaty Capitalism is the most effective economic system. If you don't think so move

cataba The home mortgage interest deduction should be eliminated. When linked with a flat tax system everyone would pay exactly the same rate with no deductions. Renters been getting ripped off for years.

Ricardo Capitalism is not the most effective economic system. Pure capitalism creates a system where 1% of the population has 99% of the resources. The government is needed to intervene when the markets fail (like health care in the US)

Montalvo The home mortgage interest deduction should not be eliminated. The real estate market's in shambles. It's put us in the worst recession since the Great Depression. Do you REALLY want to make it WORSE, just to close a tax loophole on those wicked rich folks?

Jim Coy The U.S. should not increase the cap on visas for skilled workers. Hire Americans!

pjwhite08 Organic farmers should receive additional federal subsidies. It's certainly better than subsidizing corn.

Stacey Mieras Capitalism is the most effective economic system. By far. Only when the government messes in the system does it fail.

Dawn Denniston Organic farmers should receive additional federal subsidies. If they need it yes

Dan Spencer Organic farmers should not receive additional federal subsidies. No Farmers should recieve federal subsidies.

Bill Oakes Corporations should not pay heavier taxes on windfall profits. Unless you want more jobs leaving the U.S.

sendcef Capitalism is the most effective economic system. AND THE BEST MORALLY REGARDLESS OF ANY EFFECT

Patricia Amell Nelson Organic farmers should receive additional federal subsidies. if we are giving out money - that's give it to those dong the right thing

Linda Hayes Organic farmers should receive additional federal subsidies. some of the problems with our health is all the additional stuff being added to the soil and sprayed on our foods which we consume.

Chuck Rice Lehman Brothers should not have been bailed out by the federal government. Too many bailouts..

9granny9 Executive compensation packages should require shareholder approval. Shareholder approval, NOT GOVERNMENT!!!

JasoNunes Starbucks brews a better-tasting coffee than Dunkin' Donuts. They both taste like swill. Pete's or Gorilla's brews the best cup of coffee. But, if I were forced to drink either SB or DD coffee, I'd probably end up at *shudder* SB.

gethro Starbucks brews a better-tasting coffee than Dunkin' Donuts. I wasn't a huge coffee drinker until the last year and I've developed more of a palette for beans and such. And I'd choose Starbucks over DD every time

Nick Oliva Starbucks brews a better-tasting coffee than Dunkin' Donuts. I like the Pike Place brew and can't say I've ever been particularly impressed with DD.

Christian Ryder Tobacco companies should not be liable for smoke-related health problems. we all knew when we started it wasnt good for us.

Steven Thoms Capitalism is the most effective economic system. But with some proper oversight to contain man's instinct to cheat!

David Hartpence The U.S. federal government should not provide financial support to its auto industry. money pit.

Tiffany Davenport Hartpence The Obama Administration's handling of the auto bailout has been unsatisfactory. Gave money and GM still went Bankrupt. Seems like a money pit.

JayneeGermond The government should not offer cash rewards to citizens for developing new technology. The government has no money~ it belongs to the taxpayers.
