They would need to tax paperclips, looking at the generous programs the "Whiners" have outlined for the common people.

So - what does your party stand for Nimh?

Securing a decent working wage for all. Safeguarding pensions and benefits. Facilitating equal opportunities for all children. Investing in public schools, rewarding teachers in high-pressure schools with an annual bonus. Promoting transparency and expanding multinationals' accountability to the public. We are not against privatisation per se, but insist on avoiding the kind of semi-privatisation that leads to private monopolies, run by government-subsidised but profit-making corporations without accountability.

Fair trade. Robust support for democratic movements around the world, regardless of narrow national interest. Suspension of loans and development aid to dictatorships, and divertion of funding directly to NGO's. Cancelling the debts of the poorest countries to First World states. Empowering international organisations. Clamping down on trafficking of women and children.

Tackling discrimination: ensuring every woman has the opportunity to work. But promoting part-time work that will enable both parents to spend more time with their children. Facilitating flex work, but empowering flex workers. Better sex education to counter teenage pregnancies and make fewer abortions necessary. But retaining a woman's choice. Limiting access to guns. Tackling racial and religious discrimination, for example by obliging companies to report annually how many people of minority background they have hired. Relentlessly persecuting extremist terrorists. Enlisting the expertise of (minority) community organisations to bolster a united front against extremism. Protection of sheep and other farm animals against abuse.

So, what you are saying, Dag, is that you don't like anyone who sticks out? Anyone who might be a little DIFFERENT than YOU and your CRONIES, you mean? Are you trying to start a master race? I wouldn't put it past you, you bigot!!!!

So the truth comes out. The Love and Beauty part can't even spell their own name. They can't even keep track of personal issues. How could we hope for them to take responsibility for anything additional?
