“It seems, from others’ comments and for once the Countable news crew has let me down, that this is being made into a partisanship/voter-suppression issue. That’s malarkey. The fact that voter purges have affected primarily Democratic-party electorates doesn’t mean that this is the big-bad-conservati…”

In Response to: SCOTUS Considering Ohio Purges of 'Inactive' Voters

“This sounds suspiciously like buying congressional support. It's not appropriate that a democratic society have leadership that has some secret advantage over the regular public. Are these secret stock deals being offered in exchange for political actions?! It's just buying a vote but with stocks in…”

“No! The government should not "own" land at all. There needs to be some compelling reason for the national government to acquire land: https://i2i.org/what-does-the-constitution-say-about-federal-land-ownership/”

In Response to: Sanders' Single-Payer Bill Gathers Democratic Support

“Congress men and women should be able to pay into a retirement 401k or TSP or Roth IRA and of course social security. But two years of "service" should not entitle members to lifetime benefits. ”

In Response to: Should Members of Congress Not Get a Taxpayer-Funded Pension?

“This makes sense to me. In fact I think it should go one step further. ALL veterans and currently serving military members should get free access to national parks/national recreation areas. We ask these men and women to put their lives on the line to serve our country and possibly die for our freed…”

In Response to: Should Disabled Vets Get Free, Lifetime Access to National Parks & Federal Recreational Areas?

“This is incredibly sad. As of my response to this poll it stands at 40% against abortion, 40% for abortion, and 20% consider it a private matter. On the one hand, I can understand those who say it's a personal thing. And, in the extremely rare case when it's either the life of the mother or the life…”

In Response to: Should Regulations Involving Energy Infrastructure Projects That Cross International Borders be Reformed?

“The slower the process for making laws the better they will be reviewed and fewer laws are created. More laws equals less freedom (in general). We do NOT want more laws. Slowing down the process is a good thing. ”

In Response to: Do Senators (and the Public) Need More Time to Review Bills Before They Get Votes?

“This is the most fair tax! It does many positive things: it incentivizes frugality! It DOES NOT punish hard work! It impacts the RICHER portions of society much more than the poor! Everything about this is good (except of course the prices of goods will increase!).”

In Response to: Should Income and Payroll Taxes be Eliminated and Replaced by a National Sales Tax?

“I don't agree or disagree with the rules. I haven't read enough about them to really form an opinion. In general I think the federal government should stay out of education completely, but that truly libertarian dream will probably never come true. What I would like to comment on is the impermanence…”

In Response to: Should Employers Have to Change Workers’ Schedules Unless They Have a Good Reason Not To?

“Why can't people get this through their thick skulls!? Amendments 9 & 10 are perfect for this situation. Is the labeling of goods enumerated in the Constitution? Then it's not the federal government's job. "Amendment 9 - Unenumerated Rights) The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, sh…”

“This is not enough! What really needs to happen is reduce the budget tenfold and never increase the debt limit. Debt is only for emergencies, and our country hasn't truly been in an emergency situation that required going into debt for many years. ”

In Response to: Should Murdering or Trying to Kill First Responders be a Factor in Federal Death Penalty Decisions?

“This is a tough one. There is a lot of insanity going around concerning gender/sex. I personally don't think that personal preference (gender) should trump biological facts (sex). However, I also don't think people should be discriminated against based on either issue. On the other hand, "protected …”
