platform

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
    • limit it.
  • online privacy
    • protect it.
  • 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?
