If I were to make a political party...
I apologize if this shouldn't be in this forum.
We spend quite a bit of time complaining about the system, and the political parties on this forum, so I decided to post this. It's pretty simple, make your own party, say what they stand for on the issues, name them. I will post one later on, after you guys have posted a few.
Let's see.
98% tax on the salaries of actors, musicians, professional athletes, etc. Think of the good that tax money can do.
Pro gun ownership.
Pro death penalty; extend it to serial rapists, serial child molesters, and the like.
We should use criminals in prisons for hard physical labor. Maybe put some of them in the Army, if they're able.
Illegalize school sports, including college sports; divert all funds to EDUCATION.
Eliminate the welfare system, or vastly limit its scope (like 2 years per lifetime per person, or something).
Huge penalties for people who have more than 2 children. Tax penalties for example.
Illegalize the use of religious words on money, the Pledge, etc. Turn the "line" that separates church and state into a 20-foot steel wall guarded by cyborgs (figuratively speaking).
Abortion: No opinion, which probably equates to pro-choice.
A national minimum age limit for getting a driver's license: 21 years old.
Anti corporate bribery. That'd be a hard one to enforce.
As far as the name, no idea. Republicratipendents.
I agree with Unne on most of his except the sports. Sports help a lot of kids saty out of trouble liek myself for example. If I wasn't at school for another 2 hours eachday practicing I could be hanging out on the streets doing who knows what. And I don't understand the drivers age thing? Why 21?
Harsh stuff there Unne! But, I assume you have your reasons, which is just as well.
As for me:
- Reform the welfare system in the USA, move it to a Social Democratic Welfare system with Universal healthcare and a progressive income tax, like most of the Western World has.
- Change the Presidency from two, four-year terms, to a single 6 year term.
- Restrict all guns unless you can make a legitimate case for needing one for your survival.
- Have a truly free press, and no classified documents running around.
- Create a committee to "Modernize" the US Constitution, as in, have judges, senators, and other elected members of government re-read the document and interpret it for modern use, so the debate of whether or not the laws adher to our times is rendered moot.
- Eliminate all hard money sponsorship and fund-raising for political parties. Any party that wants to run for power, and can actually be deemed capable of running a country, and no leading it into ruin (Nazi, Communist parties, etc, etc), will get Government money to run ads, and campaign.
- Shrink the army, and disarm all nuclear weapons. Of course, this hinges on the notion that ALL countries will comply.
- Pump money freed from the military into education and public works.
- Lower tariffs on goods coming into the country, but attempt to promote domestic goods as well.
- Attempt to completely end discrimination of any kind, be it through race, religion, or sexual orientation within reason. (Of course, this would not allow hate groups to exist, nor radical fundemental religious groups bent on murdering infidels).
- Salary cap on sports
- Keep your religion to yourself! You can practice it, but do not preach to the masses of un-conformed. Religion is a private matter, so you can worship with whomever you like, but when you begin to inflict your beliefs on others, that's crossing the line.
- Encourage time off for employees so that they can spend time with their families.
- Have a second, much more strict road test when you turn 25, to see if you really are a good driver and warrant a decrease in insurance rates.
More to come, but that's plenty for now, I'd warrant.
I think I'd call myself, an Optimistic Realist.
Take care all.
I like Unne's idea, except for putting criminals in the military. I know I wouldn't want to serve next to a convicted murderer. Especially if he has an automatic rifle and is literally next to me in a foxhole.
ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
I'm voting for The Captain.
And I agree with DocFrance. It's probably not a good idea to give the criminals guns. Not only that, but they could run off as soon as they had the chance. I would.
Let's see.
-45% tax on the salaries of actors, musicians, professional athletes, etc. Think of the good that tax money can do.
-Pro gun ownership.
-Pro death penalty; extend it to serial rapists, serial child molesters, and the like. Cut the hands off child molesters and rapists, if it is a male cut there penis off and hands depending on the certain case. If its female, cut there hands off.
-We should use criminals in prisons for hard physical labor.
-Abortion is illegal, because its like legalized murder.
-A national minimum age limit for getting a driver's license: 21 years old.
-Anti corporate bribery. That'd be a hard one to enforce.
-Tax Cuts for every class. Everybody is equal, not just some pacific class like the rich. If you want to be rich like them work hard enough and it will happen.
-Ban SUVs, make a nationwide recall of all cars and go hydrogen engine so we arnt dependent on foreign oil.
-Lock up people in jail who are severally addicted to drugs, since drugs counseling doesnt work.
-Get rid of the demogauge party.
-Ban people from coming to this country illegally.
-Toughen up are borders, including the USA/Mexican border. Anyone can cross and its a open door to terrorists. We dont want people coming in here commiting crimes and running to the Mexican border for safety when the Mexican government doesnt help us whiles millions of Mexicans are crossing over the border every few years. The Mexican government is in no position of negotiating they either aby to are criminal justice system. Or a anti-trade embargo against them will happen. Also by having a billions of dollars of sensors on are borders so we can pinpoint where people are crossing, especially drug traffictors.
-Ban cutting or deforesting of trees. We use and cut down so much trees that mother earth is dying, and we continue to do so. It will not help are O-Zone.
-Build a tower of babel, inside powered magnets to pull gigantic objects into space to speed up space travel/production. Cost estimated in the trillions, but its worth it in the long run.
-Exile people who dont appreciate the military, for with out one there is no America.
-Create a King Arthurs court
The Republicans

Oh, my political party would be simple:
The more votes we get, the more seats we have in the parliment.
...
Leave them empty.
- Slash military spending, divert funds to education, research, environment.
- Restrict abortion to life-or-death cases, and cases of rape.
- Hike tax on tobacco products
- Ban the death penalty.
- Subsidise amateur sports organisations.
- Subsidise research and development of renewable energy sources, especially solar power.
- severe restrictions on gun ownership.
-Divert all money from EVERYTHING, and put it in MILITARY, then...
TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
...
Seriously though... Israel has the largest military budget in the world, compared to the entire budget... that's 29% percent. I think it has to change. We don't need so many tanks and airplanes, especially when our enemy now is kicking our arse via other means. A lot of reforms need to be made, a wall has to be built... bleh, it'll take ages. I think I'll just stick with World Domination.
When fighting monsters, be wary not to become one yourself... when gazing into the abyss, bear in mind that the abyss also gazes into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
The rightful owner of this Ciddie can kiss my arse! :P
the more money for me act, a law which makes it so i get all the money i ask for.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Yea, my vote goes to The Captain right now, I'll post my own one soon.
Let's see, I really don't like to prohibit people from doing things they like to do, but a lot of the time the things that people do for fun are harmful. So I'd try to make a system where things work off of tax credits. For instance, if you drive a Honda, you will receive a certain percentage of your taxes refunded to you, and if you drive a Hummer, your taxes will be significantly higher. Same for gun owners. If you own no guns, your taxes will be lower, if you own one revolver you will pay a little bit more and if you have a dozen semi-automatic weapons you'll pay much more. This system would be the basis for how rights and priveleges are handed out, and it'll never forcibly take something away from anyone.
I may as well list my position on some other things.
-In order to vote, you cannot simply idly sit by and wait for your 18th birthday. No matter the age, whether it's 12 or 35, you'll have to be able to pass an aptitude test.
-Prostitution will be legal for adults, all drugs will be legal for adults too.
-Drinking age will be lowered to 18, where it should be.
-Welfare recipients will be monitored heavily and will have to prove at any given moment that at least 50% of the money they received went to food or clothes or rent or something like that.
-No speed limits on most highways.
-No more of FCC's regulations that are directly contradicting the 1st amendment.
-A Welfare-type system for high school graduates will be set up in order to allow young adults to simultaneously pay for car insurance, college, and rent without going to school and work full time. The more successful you are at school the more you get, and vice versa.
-Military budget will be slashed drastically. The hundreds of billions saved annually will be spent on something useful like alternative power sources.
-My party will hit very hard on the seperation of church and state issue. No more religious prayers on federal buildings or currency. Prayer doesn't belong anywhere near legislation.
-Prisons will be reformed. There will be harsh extensions added to prisoners' sentences for violent behavior. The basis of the prison system will be rehabilitation rather than punishment.
-No death sentence.
-Universal health care. I don't understand how any civilized nation can be without one!
-Somehow reform campaign financing so that the rich aren't the only ones with the opportunity to join the ruling class.
-Gradually push for a 25% decrease in prices for everything and a 25% decrease in the amount of hours in the average worker's week. Hopefully that will balance things out, as well as give people more free time and open up some more jobs.
-Universal health care. I don't understand how anycivilizedsocialist nation can be without one! --LH
Bit of a typo there.
Well, either the Regressive Party or this:
-Favors progressive tax so that citizens are taxed based on the amout that they can pay.
-Ensures that all laws are within the boundaries of the constitution.
-Which means that homosexual marriages are legal
-Seperation of Church and State STRICTLY enforced.
-War only undertaken as absolute LAST resort, and only when attacked by another nation.
-Focus on domestic policies instead of foreign policies (as in who we are sending troops to and whatnot. Diplomacy is still a focus)
-Believes in promoting peaceful solutions for all problems.
-Maintain military to full strength, just in case.
-Eliminate the draft, or at very least make it for both men and women.
About all I can think of thus far.
