It's not bold, it's real easy....and I'll only use two of his ideas.

1. Nader wants to break up the Fortune 500.
The economy is all but fueled on those companies, whether it's simply our nation's economy or the world's economy, considering that alot of these companies have international interests. In breaking them up, the economy will freeze, because you have to break it up, make up new management, set up labor, etc. Look how long it is taking just to break up Microsoft. Not only do you have to break up 500 more, but do you think they will make as much money as the Microsoft conglomerate made? No, because they will be without alot of the functions that held Microsoft together and they will have to up their costs for running the divisions. So not only will they be less efficient, but even more costly.
Second, the Fortune 500 are PUBLIC companies...companies whose shares are sold and bought on the stock market. Hence, where is the compensation for the stockholder's shares? Or does he intend to rob them too?

2. Nader wants every household to make at least $26,000/yr.
First of all, if you don't make $26,000/yr, you shouldn't have a family. Second, where in the hell is he going to get the money to give every family $26,000?? That's absolutely retarded. Remember that we do have something called a national debt already. Trying to play out this stupid scheme would only double or even triple that amount. Let me remind you that government doesn't have any money, it only manages the money given to them by taxpayers. Therefore, when government spends money, they are spending taxpayers' money. When government collects taxes, they are collecting taxpayer's money. And when government gives someone more money than they were suppose to get back, they are taking the taxes from one person and giving it to another. It's called robbery.

Now look at some of the other things Nader wants done...

3. Free health care, education, jobs, and housing.
Once again, where are you going to get all the money to make it happen.....

4. Allow workers to vote for their own management.
WHAT? Such a law would stymie the company and would not cause unneeded tension and conflict in the workplace. How retarded. It's a company, not a government.

5. Get rid of the US Senate.
Well I hope you live in California or New York, because that's a few of the only states that will have good representation in government.

5. Seize the top 200 banks in the country, along with 80% of their assets.
Now THIS is funny. Nader is going to rob the people of their money so he can have enough to fulfill his programs. It doesn't matter WHO it is, he's just going to take the money. This is the essence of socialism: have a Robin Hood mentality...take from the ones that are successful and give to the ones that are not. If you do that, then what's the use of advancing? What's the use of being successful? Socialism and oommunism does nothing but stalemate their own economic potential. There has never been a successful communist country nor a socialist country, and never will be.

Ralph Nader is a nut if he thinks he will be able to accomplish all this garbage. Let's say one election he does indeed pull this off....most of this mess wouldn't slide through Congress, especially the elimination of the Senate. He legally has no justification for destroying the Fortune 500 nor seizing the 200 banks. His whole campaign is a joke, and so are the people voting for them. They all need to gain a little common sense.
