Some Policy Talking Points<BR>
Neighborhood Density<BR>
<BR>
We should stop encouraging density with our laws and tax money. (And quit zoning farms for housing!) There's a reason that whites flee areas infest with negroes, illegals and, of course, crime.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent said that it is necessary to have more density (Mercury candidate interview)<BR>
Cap & Trade Tax on Fossil Fuels<BR>
(The price will be MADE TO RISE, WITHOUT LIMIT, UNTIL PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO CUT BACK USAGE BY 44% )<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. It will increase YOUR gasoline cost.<BR>
I oppose. It will increase YOUR heating cost<BR>
I oppose. It will increase YOUR electric bill<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors taxs<BR>
(Statement to the LWV in spring 2008 and WW interview)<BR>
He knows it will increase your cost of energy!<BR>
A new tax on energy<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. Energy is already too expensive. Drill away. I will not live long enough to live with the consequences. Most won't. Screw it. Not our problem.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors this tax. (WW interview)<BR>
Real Estate Sales Tax<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. This will make housing cost and rents go up. Over 25s without children should not vote. It is a duty. What else will hold up real estate values? "Be fruitful and multiply" God has commanded it.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors this tax. (Mercury interview)<BR>
Surcharge on income tax<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. We are already taxed enough.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors this tax (if minor and temporary!)<BR>
Energy Cost<BR>
<BR>
I favor lower energy costs the only way that costs have 2ever fallen - by increasing supply.<BR>
Without access to affordable energy, Americans ... cannot afford to climb that ladder to success. N. Innis, CORE. Drill downtown Portland, idiots! Get a clue.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors Energy Tax and Cap & Trade which will INCREASE energy cost<BR>
Policies that hurt me and my friends.<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. We need to protect the vulnerable in our community. They cannot vote their own interests. That's why we have an education.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent's Energy cost increases, housing cost increase hurt the poor more than they hurt upper income people. He favors these policies.<BR>
Secret ballot in union elections<BR>
<BR>
Of course elections should be secret ballot! Now, if we could make the unions have to go secret as well!<BR>
<BR>
My opponent opposes the secret ballot.<BR>
<BR>
Smart Growth<BR>
(tax subsidies to high density, forcing you out of your car by making driving more expensive and more difficult and , laws to force much higher neighborhood densities, very dense apartment/condos complexes on bus and light rail streets.)<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. We already have too many skinny houses squeezed in our neighborhood degrading our neighborhood's livability. All growth is smart.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors "smart growth" policies that require tax subsidies, increased density and making it difficult to drive a car. Cars first, and people will follow. That's common sense.<BR>
<BR>
Diverting School Money to Real Estate Developers<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. We must quit diverting any basic services money to developers.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors smart growth & high density - Taking money from basic services is the key funding mechanism that makes these schemes work Gentrification - high housing costs. I am opposed to all "smart growth".<BR>
<BR>
I oppose. Government policies that encourage high density and gentrification.<BR>
<BR>
My opponent favors smart growth & high density - which cause a large part of gentrification and high housing costs.<BR>
