Movie theaters should not have the right to block cell phone signals. If my wife dies in a car accident and I miss the text message from her mother....

Bush Administration policies have had a negative impact on the economy. Let's talk about this war...cuz that money went directly from tax payers to wealthy war profiteers.

Credit counseling does not reduce bankruptcies. No. They counsel you to go bankrupt.

Capitalism is the most effective economic system. When the needs of the markets, the consumers, the environment, and the workers are met satisfactorily, it can work really well. It's the system that has modernized all modern nations.

Airlines should not charge for food. I already paid A BILLION dollars for a ticket. Feeding passengers is a tradition as well as a relief from those cramped, noisy seats.

Congress should issue a second round of the 2008 stimulus checks. Yes. I love my new american made bedroom set. A living room set would be nice....

The United States Mint should stop circulating the penny. Sure. They can't buy you anything.

Congress should increase the federal minimum wage. This only hurts major big businesses and corporations payroll. They will see increased profits in the long run from increased consumer power.

The government should offer cash rewards to citizens for developing new technology. Incentives to advance are the reason technology advances in the first place. Aren't patents designed to do this trick already?

Oil prices will weaken the economy. Since wages are low. Yup.

Corporations should pay heavier taxes on windfall profits. They certainly should. It's a small payment to the society that helped them to succeed.

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

Unions should be permitted to strike. Yes. It's what they are known for.

Government should regulate wages. Fair worker practices ensure a competitive economy and strong consumer base.

Call centers should not be required to disclose the physical location of their employees. No, and what's the point?

The federal minimum wage should be $11 an hour or higher. I wish we could have more time at home with our kids. Instead we line the pockets of billionaires.

Geopolitical instability is having the greatest impact on rising oil prices. The world events and the skyrocketing prices coincided. I think it's instability for sure.

Employers should not monitor employee Internet access in the workplace. No. We all goof off from time to time. it's good for the psyche.

Coke makes a better tasting cola than Pepsi.

Unions have a positive impact on the economy. Take a look at the strongest economy the United States have. It was during a time period of the largest Union workforce in history. Unions are there for workers and increase a consumers buying power. It's an uphill cycle.

Starbucks brews a better-tasting coffee than Dunkin' Donuts. Not the greatest coffee, but starbucks espresso is the real deal.
