I would have to say the issue with public higher education.

I'm lucky enough to be graduating debt free, however I have friends that are almost 100k in the hole, and are struggling to finish their degree simply because no one will give them any more money.
Tuition and the cost of books have nearly tripled and the government does nothing about it.
And never mind the increase in books and supplies alone. The expenses for supplies for ONE class alone this fall was nearly 500 dollars.

Corporate person hood and the removal of the cancerous wart from American politics.

It would be assault unless they consent to this removal, though.

LGBT issues (mainly more focus on bisexual and transgender issues), racial issues (because let's face it, blacks still get the short straw with everything), better gun laws, and a new healthcare system (we all know Obamacare is an epic failure).

1.) Healthcare
2.) Increase of mim. wage (highly against).
3.)censorship towards the internet and school education.
4.) Our broken school system and no child left behind law.( i want schools to be competition like japan)
5.) Allowing unamericans to enter the country easier, so adjusting green card access ; making it easier.

And possibly unrelated , allowing gay marriage and making it allowed nationwide.

Sorry for bad grammar, very tired.

There are many things that piss me off. Some of those things is due to the sheer ignorance of people, especially when it comes to things like the environment, science, the separation of church and state, art and intellectual property. But if I were to say that there is one thing that stands out more than anything else, more so than the ignorance surrounding socialized health care, the ban on gay marriage In many states and other such nonsense, is the state of race relations in this country. Yes we have come a looooong way and that's a great thing, but if any country, if any persons were damaged by slavery in the history of man on this planet it is America.

Basically anything supported by the criminally ignorant. If there is one thing that the so called politically minded people are guilty of is just.... Keeping themselves ignorant of s**t that happens around them all the god damn time.

Corporate freedoms and the free market. They are an abomination to society.

Now sure, free trade and the like; a little bit of competition can lead to some nice things. But society should be built around working for the betterment of society; not the chaotic mess where the only rules are what the rich and powerful dictate.

Most other issues stem from this.
