I support drastic reductions in military spending and Corporate welfare.
I support better living standards for the poor and middle classes.
I support better job prospects for all Americans.
I support addressing the balance between record Corporate profits and 40 year lows in real median wages and rapidly increasing poverty. The trend needs reversing - dramatically.
I support increasing social mobility. America has one of the worst records of social mobility anywhere in the developed world.

I support wealth creation and a wide distribution of that wealth.
I support a thriving middle class.
I am against pre-emptive war. I advocate a Jeffersonian foreign policy.
I support making Healthcare in America more efficient and affordable.
I am against the farcical prohibition of drugs which costs US taxpayers $200bn a year and massively increases criminality, corruption and violence on the streets. And it creates more hard drug addicts.
I am against the class warfare justice system. The poor can get 20 years jail time for minor drugs possession. When was the last time you heard of a Wall St banker getting jailed for snorting cocaine?
I am against the banks being above the law.
I am in favor of reinstating Glass-Steagal and the big banks getting broken up.
I believe the banks should be prosecuted for their frauds and money laundering and top execs should get long stretches of hard jail time for their crimes.
I am against large multinationals getting tax breaks, when small and medium businesses do not. There should be a level playing field.
I am against Oligarchies.
I support drastic Campaign Finance Reform.
I support getting money out of politics.
I am against the system of lobbying and the revolving door between government, lobbyists and big business.
These are some of the things I support and are against.
What do you support?
Addendum
Barack Obama does not support any of the things I support. No wonder I got banned.
N.B. This article was previously posted on my blog but mysteriously got deleted along with a couple of other articles about the Fiscal Cliff deal.
