Five civil questions to post
to your liberal friends

This article is NOT intended
as a device to make an argument in and of itself – these are real QUESTIONS –
not answers.
1. Do you believe public
employee unions have been a constructive force in American society or a
destructive one? If the latter, do you acknowledge the relationship between
public employee unions and the Democratic party/agenda, and how do you feel
about that? If you believe they’ve been a constructive force in American
society, could you elaborate?
2. Are you for MORE
government in American lives or LESS government? The confusion lies in the
left’s pretty consistent opposition to things like school choice and health
care freedom, but pretty consistent support for things like abortion rights and
gay marriage. Should we want more government for some things and less for
others, and if so, how do you draw those lines?
3. Would you consider the
“war on poverty” of the last fifty years to have been a success? If so, by what
basis do you see it as such? If not, what do you think was done wrongly and by
what basis do you think even greater federal government intervention would
succeed in defeating poverty?
4. Do you like big money in
politics or dislike it? If you dislike it, do you believe it should be
demonized when the last name is Soros and Steyer or only Koch? At what economic
point does a person lose his or her right to participate in elections, and regardless
of what that point is, do you believe it applies to both parties or just one?
5. Does the economy function
better with greater regulation or less regulation? If the former, can you think
of an industry or company or product or innovation that has thrived with more
regulation? If the latter, do you believe the current Democratic Party is
committed to freer markets or more restrictive markets? Which one is better for
middle class people?
