Close corporate tax loopholes

Repeal the Bush tax cuts for the highest income earners

Nobel prize winner Al Gore has accused the commercial press in the past of "strangling democracy" by under reporting issues important to voters which invokes passive disengagement from them due to superficial analysis of a matter. The argument about modifying health care exhibits this kind of bias because they've totally excluded from the discussion a sensible reform initiative put forth in 2003 by a current Presidential contender who lacks campaign funds to promote it. Instead, the press would rather cover candidates with large war chests who speak about the subject using corporate buzzwords to rationalize their plans for change because that's where the money is.

Millions of adults and children in America have told both the media and politicians they want government sponsored medical insurance and not more of the same or a lite version of what they have now. Their petitions have been ignored because the will of the people has become irrelevant in today's market economy which has replaced intrinsic law with unfettered greed brushing aside the humane principles upon which this country was built.  In the process, our values have changed from civilized to regressive materialism which can only be restored by recommitting to the original ethical authority prescribed by the U.S. Constitution.
