Putting useless people to work

We are the most creative nation in the world, but we waste our time, treasure and the lives of our young people in wars in the middle east. Let's cut military spending and spend our resources on educating our young people and re-envigorating our economy.

Airline negotiations fall under the Railway Labor Act. Sounds odd, but the owners of the rails, over 100 years ago, wanted to ensure the trains would always run. By making it illegal to strike, when a contract ends, guaranteed the trains would operate. The U.S. airline system works the same way today. American and USAir pilots have been in negotiations for 6 years. United and Continental are in their 3rd and 4th years respectively. Airline managements drag their feet because they can and avoid pay increases for years. Labor needs the ability to strike when a contract ends and or receive cost of living adjustments for every month a contract goes beyond its amendable date.

When Exxon and other oil companies are showing higher profits than at any time in history and when there seems to be no prevailing sense of civic or corporate fairness, there should be some vehicle to get the attention of these coporations and of Congress. Either eliminate loopholes for Big Oil or implement a windfall profits tax.

Since churches have become political in their financial support of anti-gay issues they should be taxed. Without the financial support of the Mormon church in California prop 8 would not have passed.

raise minimum wage to $10.00/hr or $12.00/hr for part time work. Raising wage will allow parents to work 1 job instead of 1.5 jobs and spend more time raising their kids.Create more jobs by allowing people working 2 or more jobs to be able to afford to work 1 job thereby opening up a job for someone else who needs it. Creates more disposable income for people who will spend it, which will create even more jobs.
