Is Jimmy Mcmillan Of The Rent Is Too Damn High Party Right Or Wrong?
Just for a little bit of fun, before I continue to take a look at the arguments, why not let me have your views. In outline do you think Mr McMillan is right: VOTE YES or VOTE NO (anyone taking part in my little survey gets a chance to become a paid survey panel member) There isn't any doubt that there's a need for lower rents for housing. Nevertheless, Jimmy McMillan and The Rent Is Too Damn High party has come in for criticism for the realism of their policies. In particular, critics point out that he seems to be utterly ignoring the multibillion dollar deficit confronted by the state. Is it really a wise policy for Mr McMillan to say of the deficit, " it's like a cancer. It's going to heal itself." Many individuals really feel that the entire level of the debate in this election is extremely poor and many have been very critical of all of the candidates. Some have said that the debates should be centred on the more serious candidates, Carl Paladino and Andrew Cuomo. Jimmy McMillan has been unsuccessful in other elections. As a mayoral candidate in 2005 he received just over 1000 votes although this was increased in 2009 in a second campaign to over 2600. So, Mr McMillan and his black gloves definitely have enlivened the debate. He could be a one issue candidate but it may be argued that, for all the ridiculous gimmicks, drawing attention to housing issues is helpful to a campaign like this. Chances are you'll not want to vote for Jimmy McMillan and The Rent is too Damn High party but a democratic system should enable him to stand and put forward his views for consideration by the electorate.
