... These other countries are either in severe poverty or their cities are becoming overcrowded. Although the U.S. is not in trouble at this time, when you look at the whole world you may see a different picture. Eventually the rest of the world will also have an effect on us. The impact we have on the environment has to do with three factors. The first is the number of people. The more people there are the more resources are used. If too many resources begin to be used they will run out before they get a chance to be replaced. Leaving all plant and animal life with nothing and everything will eventually die off. The rainforests are a good example of this. The second is the amount of resources ...

... tax system that we now use in favor of a flat rate tax of 17%. This plan also calls for the dismantling of the Internal Revenue Service, one of Forbes' chief adversaries. He is in favor of a Tax Limitation Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment would make it extremely hard for Congress to raise taxes. Like many other Republicans, he supports the end of the marriage tax and with his plan, there would be no separate tax on savings, pensions, and capital gains.

... the natural and inalienable rights of Americans to think and speak freely. The first Amendments early years were not entirely auspicious. Although the early Americans enjoyed great freedom compared to citizens of other nations, even the Constitution's framer once in power, could resist the string temptation to circumvent the First Amendment's clear mandate. Before the 1930s, we had no legally protected rights of free speech in anything like the form we now know it. Critics of the government or government officials, called seditious libel, was oftenly made a crime. Every state had a seditious libel law when the Constitution was adopted.

... it gives a simple solution that is morally wrong. People should not be able to play God and decide if a baby should live or die. Not even the parents of the child.

... points that clearly illustrated their agendas. The Federalists, however, seem to have struck a chord more influential in the minds of the citizens. This not only because their attempts to rally a political consensus on their behalf seemed to have been a step ahead as well as more organized, but possibly more so because the Anti-Federalists failed to substantially prove that small republics were better able to sustain individual liberties than were large republics.
