What stances from the opposite of your political spectrum do you support? - page 2.

I do think certain policies from the left are pretty vital.

Environmental Regulations - I do think that certain environmental regulations are pretty vital, as companies aren't going to have a vested interest in ensuring that our oceans aren't polluted in, our lakes are clean, our springs are clean, and so on and so forth. 'The Market' isn't going to weed companies out that pollute the ground and such, as every company is going to do it if it means they make another buck and don't face any consequences. Fines from the government and lawsuits from consumers that are hurt from these practices are the only thing that stops companies from polluting like this.

Taxes - I think that a certain amount of taxes are vital to a functioning economy (I think most agree on this though) There's no way that a society can survive with basic function without these taxes, who's going to fund for your local police, fire department, libraries, and so on without this sort of local taxes, state taxes, and federal taxes. I think everyone can agree that there is a massive amount of overspending in government right now, though you can't just cut everything down to 0 for this all to work out,

Unions (in certain professions) - I don't think that there should be unions in government related jobs, such as the police force, fire department, teachers, state workers, fed workers, and so on. Because if these people are to strike, they're going to have the upper hand in negotiations because they can cause a large amount of damage to the public good. Unions should be allowed elsewhere though, not forced labor unions though -- people should willingly be joining.
