a Modern Republican Platform
in no particular order:
- social security
- not privatized. that would be insanity.
- our school systems
- the standard by which we should design our school systems is found in Finland.
- teacher salaries
- increase them. dramatically. no-one spends more time with our children than their teachers. they should be the highest paid people that we can possibly afford.
- class size
- decrease them. significantly. let's give teachers a real chance to interact with the children in a meaningful way.
- and let's really teach them.
- school day and year.
- decrease both of them. kids should spend less time at school and more time at home with their family.
- national income tax
- get rid of it. why tax us on what we are able to earn.
- national sales tax
- tax us on what we spend not on what we earn.
- separation of church and state at state schools
- maintain it with vigilance
- metric system
- get over bucking it and get on with it.
- skyward light
- online privacy
- marijuana
- get marijuana off of the controlled substances act list. it preposterous that it's there at all and for it to be a schedule I drug is rediculous.
- legalize it finally. tax it. let's turn it into a vice that produces revenue instead of absorbing so much law enforcement time, effort, and money.
- traffic fines
- based on income. (or scaled somehow.)
- environment
- protect it.
- use less of it.
- renewable energy sources.
- donating blood
- don't do it. it's a commercial product. why give it away?
- donating organs
- don't do it. no-one else in the process donates anything.
- spam (i think i notice a pattern below!)
- mail
- national register for exclusion?
- $.025 for filter?
- email
- national register for exclusion?
- must come from valid email address?
- phone
- national register for exclusion?
after reading all of that would you guess that i'm a registered republican? |
