So, when my husband told me about it and reading Allahpundit's take, I was a little worried that it would be pretty bad but I think it's as over the top as I thought it was (it was about the same level of ridicule that Hillary endured). I thought it was funny that Baldwin was the voice of the lefties who were upset that someone of Palin's ilk was allowed to go on a lefty show (why are you giving her a platform, blah, blah, blah) and I think her shot back at Baldwin was pretty funny ("Steven is my favorite Baldwin" :-). And the Moose rap is what you'd expect from SNL -- over the top satire (you can read the lyrics here).

Yes, and we also have Medicaid and Medicare. If we got rid of Medicare (a socialized system) many would be unable to afford their prescriptions. I believe that adequate health care should be a right for every person not just a privilege of the few. You didn't answer the question I directed to you...we currently have a socialized police force....do you believe we should privatize it?
Question for all: What do think government's role should be in the US?

MzEllen,
If many of those in poverty are lazy; should we do away with charities? I'm sure, in this *wonderful* economic climate, that laziness must be the main contributing factor.
I also am paying my way through school, am a research assistant in two labs, and a student-tutor. I am disciplined and responsible. I am fortunate that I am able to go to school; many are not. What is so wrong with making college affordable with loans that people can reasonably pay back?
What do you think government's role should be in the US?
Do you think we would benefit from privatizing the police force? social security?

Straw man. Argue against what I never said.
I absolutely thing that we should take care of those who cannot take are of themselves. Those who will not should bear the consequences of that choice.
What is so wrong with making college affordable with loans that people can reasonably pay back?
Nothing. We already do that. Check out the financial aid section of any college or university website.
What do you think government's role should be in the US?
Read the Constitution.
You didn't answer the question I directed to you
we currently have a socialized police force....do you believe we should privatize it?
Please read this as many times as you need to in order to understand what I am trying to say. This is not about paying ZERO taxes. It's about the top 50% of wage earners paying 96% of the income taxes...and the bottom 50% paying 4% (2001 numbers) and having the bottom end tell the top end they need to pay "their fair share".
Thus, my "cricket calling" question: what percentage of the money that a person earns should they be able to keep?
Anyway...
Do you think we would benefit from privatizing the police force? social security?
I think we would benefit from having federal taxes cut by many percentages and allow the state and local governments to run their own departments. That is not "privatizing", that is giving the power back to the states (as per the Constitution).
Social Security - uh...technically, that funding is supposed to come from that part of our paychecks that says "FICA" and "medicare" - not our income taxes.
Do I think benefit from privatizing Social Security? Partially, yes. We would still need the "safety net" for those who cannot take care of themselves. But for able bodied people, if part of their share of the Social Security payment were held in a 401K or other long term, insured investment vehicle with their name on it, it would certainly teach self-responsibility.
But this is about "spreading the wealth" (As Obama said). How much of a person's earnings should they be able to keep? After all the taxes that a person has removed from their paychecks - should a person be able to keep 60% of their own money? 50%? 40%?
What is "fair"?
Thank you, SNL! Great and funny skit. Gov. Palin, what a gal. For all you die-hard lefties out there who are so displeased with SNL for giving Gov. Sarah Palin a platform, so to speak, to the best of my knowledge FOX News is very gracious to and fair & balanced towards the Left/liberals/progressives/democrats/Democratic Party. So, why would YOU want to continue to give Gov. Sarah Palin a difficult time? You lefties remind me of Lemmings, you all would simply follow each other off the end of a cliff just for the hell of it. McCain/Palin, 2008! My condolences to the LEFT. Cheryle C. Teague
LMFAO! you're beginning to sound like a cricket. karen and i have both addressed your questions. we just don't give you the answers that you want to hear. chirp away.
mccain: "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." well, sir, it shows.
