What would you ask?

Over at Black Agenda Report you will find an interesting set of ten questions that every Democratic Presidential candidate should have to answer. They are:

1. Will you end the occupation of Iraq?
2. Will Jose Padilla still be in prison? Will you close Guantanamo?
3. Will you enact a plan for universal health care?
4. Will your administration demand that Israel cease committing human rights abuses and waging war against its neighbors?
5. Will you keep abortion legal?
6. Will you reverse the Patriot Act and other attacks on civil liberties?
7. Will you rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast?
8. Will you decrease the prison population?
9. Will you expose the criminal acts of the Bush administration?
10. Will you protect voting rights?

I think that I might add:

11: Will you reform the tax system and restore it to a progressive basis and ensure that the wealthy and businesses pay their fair share?

nb - I also agree with Ms. Kimberley as to Dennis Kunich. Whenever I have taken one of those quizzes to see which candidate my views are most in line with he had always come out on the top with Dubya on the bottom.
