Bachmann wants government out of way
The Gazette Opinion Staff

Michele Bachmann favors free reign for corporate behavior, private health insurance companies, teaching creationism in schools, drilling in Alaska for oil and gas, and nuclear energy.
She is against a minimum wage, wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, and opposes regulation of Wall Street, capital gains taxes, health care reform, clean air and water regulations, equal marriage rights, federal aid to homebuyers and students, and consumer protection laws.
In summary, she favors unrestrained capitalism and telling you whom you can marry. Why would you elect a president who believes government can do no good?
