16. Are you a better-safe-than-sorry Conservative following a precautionary principle, or, are you willing to risk your own children’s world, and mine, due to your ignorance of climate science, and a willingness to place economic growth above planetary survival?
17. What do you think is a fair ratio of top executives to workers in a company. Is it 15-25 times, as both conservative, Peter Drucker, and Liberal, John Kenneth Galbriath, once agreed is proper, or do you think today’s 500-1 ratio is just keen? If so, do do you believe in an excess compensation tax and more public representation on corporate boards currently filled with cronies of the chief executive?
18. Do you believe the "Federal Reserve" is a mistake, that our public central bank and congressional money power bequeathed by the founders of this country should ever have been given to a private cabal of big banks?
19. Do you believe we should be forced to pay interest to borrow money from a private central bank in order to: 1. Go to war, 2. Repair billions of damage from hurricanes and natural disasters 3. Re-build critical infrastructure?
20. Don’t you think its about time we audited the Federal Reserve, and made public the real owners of "our" central bank, and not simply the corporate fronts? Checked for the gold in Fort Knox? Have each state elect its representative to the Central Bank?
21. Where do these Hedge funds and private equity vulture funds get all their money? Are we, the public, involved in anyway as to what these banksters are doing by unnecessarily churning our economy to profit top executives and vulture capitalists? Can I go down to my local bank and borrow a couple of million to do a carry-trade deal?
22. Where is the public interest in "our" banking scheme?
23. Do you believe in 36% interest rates for credit cards? 700% interest for payday loans?
24. Would you support no-interest loans for housing, for all Americans, from a public central bank? Do you see the value of having money now spent on housing interest go into the economy instead - in this consumer-spending based economy? Are you familiar with economist’s velocity-of-money concept - wherein it is better to have more money in the hands of the many than in the hands of the few?
25. Do you believe that George Bush actually won the election in 2000 or 2004? Do you think it was appropriate for the Supreme court to anoint a president, in a "just this once" decision, rather than see the voting process completed fairly?
26. Who owns your own precinct's voting machine? Do you know? Do you favor the right of the public to fully inspect and certify the "proprietary" secret operating system and software with which "our" democracy currently functions?
27. Given the voting machine problems, would not it be better to return to paper ballots to assure the validity of election outcomes, and have a truly honest election process and democracy? Should not any voting machine company, given its position of power, have a publicly elected board and completely open system?
28. Should not each city choose their own voting system and not be subject to county, state or federal mandates? Should democracy not begin from the ground up?
29. Do you believe your faith is better than mine, or my preference for doubt as opposed to faith? Do you believe Jesus is the only son of god, or that you are among "God’s chosen people"?
30. Do you think the state should, in effect, become the father of children as soon as coitus is complete? If you are willing to force motherhood on pregnant women and girls, will you put up your own funds for the support of their unwanted children? Will you tax the unbelievers, rather than the Pope and Ayatollahs, to pay for religion’s unlimited population growth?
31. Do you support family planning expenditures? Do you think unlimited population growth is a good thing? What would you do to prevent growth-to-ruin?
