If I Could Design THE Perfect Political Party (for me), what would it be like?

Hmm....you know, I think this is a *very* good question. Because, quite frankly, NO ONE cares what I think or want, therefore, I am probably a minority. At least, politically.

So, here goes.

(MY) PERFECT POLITICAL PARTY. What would it's platform be?

Re: Religion - Stay the heck outta government. Otherwise, in 15 years, we'll all be learning the Koran (not that anything's wrong with the Koran, but, yanno, just sayin')

Re: Education - develop models that mimic European styles of teaching. Throw out the ag-based summer vacation, and throw out the 150 standardized tests they are trained to answer. This educational system sucks. I've noticed that the government is less and less interested in education. School days are getting shorter and there's talk of 4 day school weeks - teachers suck, our children are graduating as stupidheads. College is non-attainable at today's prices. All of this - the quality and the quantity - has to change, or all of the difficult American jobs are going to go to foreigners. We will be a nation of janitors.

Re: Trade - Fuck everyone else. We need to buy and sell our own stuff to ourselves at prices we can afford. Once we get our own dollar under control, then we can worry about other people.

Re: Foreign relations - Fuck everyone else. I say, turn the other cheek. Live and let live. Osama, who cares. This is ridiculous. Let them smoke their poppies until they choke.

Re: NA Free Trade Agmt. What's so free about it? End it. Our lives have been hell since its inception.

Re: The Bill of Rights. Make sure it's upheld. Have a Congressional Czar override the Supreme Court every time they forget what it says.

Re: Taxes. 20% Feds, 3% state and local, across the board, be they corporations or individuals. No more tax code bullshit. Once it exceeds 30 pages, the book loses interest. Oh, and no more withholding. We'll pay you on April 15th and not a day before.

Re: Politics. Anyone who wants on the ballot needs to gather 500,000 names on a petition. The ballot can be as long as we want it to be, and there can be as many participants as can find supporters. Whoever gets the most votes wins, whoever gets the lesser amount is vice president. End of story. No more electoral college bullshit. No more chess.

Oh, and throw TIF out the window while we're at it. And eminent domain. Everybody knows that's not right.

Oh, and one more thing. Whoever is in my party and wants my vote will make a law that we must have so many trees per square foot, nationwide. We're going bare..

Hmm, I think that's about it.
