What about our elderly? Due to their inability to fund fully their final years of existence, should we deport or euthanize them rather than use socialistic-type measures to support them? Some would prefer a pure capitalistic form of government whereby regulations are rare. Let the strong and lucky reap what they can and to hell with the rest (majority in this and most cases). I believe the majority of the voting population has seen what a lack of regulations and their enforcement can do. Why do you not want the candidates to stick to the important global issues facing us? You blast those that post reminders of why actual policies do matter while the political sniping is nothing more than divisive, diversionary tactics. If we are addressing the cost of eggs in a store, we certainly do not need to include the composition of the moon.
