I feel like the Republicans are the bad guys

Since my opponent didn't have a chance for these comments, they can either be judged in the comments section, or given less weight since my opponent won't have the opportunity to scrutinize it here. (11) They should find a way to replace Obamacare, I agree. They don't like it because they say that the government is more inefficient than people and businesses. I think that people become more interested in a thing when they have something directly to gain by having the effort, and that they also learn things that they can use in other parts of their life as well. Therefore, I like the idea of people being in charge of where they get to spend their health-money, rather than letting the government decide. The government can be there for "catastrophic insurance." (Ben Carson) (12) They believe that if you lower the tax rate, that people will have more money to spend, and so they will spend it more, and so the taxes which come in from that extra-spending (and re-spending) will overcome the deficit that is created from lowering the taxes and assuming no growth elsewhere with regards to tax income. (13) I think people doing drugs is a symptom of a societal problem of people living in unstable circumstances. Therefore, I think we should focus more on dealing with those circumstances than just criminalizing drug usage. That being said, unless there is a good reason for drugs (e.g. medical marijuana), I don't know why we should allow it. So, I would probably have more lenient laws in general. The buyers should of course have less punishment than the sellers. I think alcohol has health benefits, so that is one reason to allow it. I would be in favor of looking at lowering the toxicity rate in driving from 0.08 to 0.02, if that resulted in safer habits for people. Alcohol is also used in some religions (my religion, for example). (14) They don't police the world, but certain parts where they want to. I think it can be good to help out a nation, but if they don't want help, it is probably better to not help them. They can disagree with our ideals, as long as they have basic human rights. (15) I'm not sure about the Iraq War, simply because I haven't done the research, because I'm not that interested. I'll trust my leaders unless there is evidence not to trust them. Innocent until proven guilty. (16) I think privacy invasion should be checked by the Constitution. I think we should try other ways before using privacy invasion, to begin with. I'm not even convinced privacy invasion is doing much if any good, though there are serious liabilities with it. This is more of a libertarian vs. populist idea, than Republican vs. Democrat, I think. (17) I'm not convinced that the problem with education is a lack of funding. That said, I don't want there to be too little funding either. I don't think they're against welfare for poor people in general. I think they are against it for those who are capable of working, but choose not to work, for no good reason. I do think that Republicans in general should give poor people more opportunities, more ladders to wealth. There are probably a few poor people are lazy, but I would say that at least a few don't have a good education or know how to get a good education, even though they want it, and so they should be given opportunities for learning. I would say that they hope that the American Dream is possible for everyone. If not, that would suck, and so why not try for it? If you fail once, big deal. Get back up and try again. That being said, we should still help those people out, and more than just basic human needs. (18) I don't think Republicans are necessarily against something new. They just want to know more clearly what they would be losing if they made the switch. Some might follow this saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", though I don't quite agree that this should be applied everywhere.
