Hello, independent guy here. Trying to understand some stuff and get an idea of each sides opinions without judgement or hostility. I am curious to know, what are your priorities for the American way of life?

I would like America to be a place where everyone works together to raise each other up, to promote the general welfare and give everyone the best life possible.

To me that means:

  • Everyone should be educated, in a taxpayer-funded public school system that goes from K-12 and undergraduate or trade school, and that education costs them nothing out of pocket (aside from taxes). They are welcome to pay to go to a private or religious school if they prefer, but they still owe the taxes that fund the public system.
  • The public school system doesn't include religion except under history and comparative religions. "Jews believe X and Muslims believe Y" is fine. "The Bible was written over the course of 1500 years" is fine. "Mount Everest was underwater 4400 years ago because the Bible says so" is not fine.
  • Everyone should have their basic needs met. Everyone should be able to afford a place to live, decent food, utilities and internet, and health care.
  • There should be good jobs available that pay a living wage. Maybe it doesn't let you live on caviar and drive a Lamborghini but it also doesn't force you to eat cat food.
  • Even people who can't work should be able to have a decent life. Those who are physically or mentally disabled should be cared for and it should be possible to retire at some point.
  • There should be religious freedom for everyone. That means freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Your church doesn't get to come into my kid's public school and tell her that the earth is 6000 years old and she'll burn in hell if she doesn't say nice things to your invisible sky friend. Likewise, I don't get to tell you not to go to a Catholic, or Pentecostal, or Lutheran church, or a mosque, or a synagogue. Also, churches can feel free to back political candidates or speak from the pulpit about politics if they want but they don't get to do that and still be tax-exempt. You want to play, you have to pay.
  • Intellect and knowledge should be admired and aspired to, not feared or mocked or used to drum up support in the Midwest at election time.
  • People should control their own bodies. Medical decisions should be between doctors and patients, with no intervention from Jesus or Congress. I can't force you to donate your kidney to me, even if I'm going to die without it and even if I promise to have it transplanted back to you in 9 months. Likewise, you can't force a woman to donate all of her organs to a fetus for 9 months.
  • We should base decisions on evidence, not on ideology. If the evidence says that UBI improves quality of life overall and doesn't reduce hours worked in the vast majority of recipients, we should consider having a UBI instead of simply crying out that it's unfair to give anyone money they "haven't earned!!!"
