If you were President WHat would your Platform be?

[Psycho4Bud]

Multiple-partner marriage------>HAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right.
Like you could handle more than one wife!!

Psych4bud discriminates against no religious beliefs. I am not Mormon but I will not discriminate against them. By opening the door for their religion it would be discriminatory to deprive someone not of that belief the opportunity to also have multiple partners in marriage.

No more income tax!

So you are not going to tax the corporations? They can easily say they are taking a lost and not spending a dime....so no taxes for the rich just like Bush...shall I list how many corporations paid absolutely no taxes last year? Johnson and johnson for starters...

Oh yes they will be taxed! They purchase office supplies, O.E.M. products...ALL purchases will be assessed the same percentage tax as the normal citizen. This will close ALL tax loop holes previously enjoyed!

In order to create a product, you must by raw material. Parts for machines,etc.........

raw material. Parts for machines,etc.........
and where do you think that will come from? CHINA. How will that benefit us?

Outsourcing Jobs:
You put your plant in a country with substandard pay and working conditions a tarriff will be assessed on your goods to compensate for this. This money will be used to create jobs in rebuilding our highways, schools, etc....And as a reminder to the people of your actions, such highways, etc..will bear your company name! This will remind the American people as to what not to buy.

A compensation plan has already been enacted. By diverting your buying power to a people living on less than our own you have placed your company into a tarrif situation. Outsourcing product will be considered the same as outsourcing jobs. Companies will have to PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that they not only purchased O.E.M. goods at a fair market price but actually had to pay more due to added shipping costs.

So you buys wana run for president reading your posts you clearly have it thought out but what about logistics how are you going to get the signatures and money you need to run for president what are you going to do about the church they will be outraged by your ideas. What about the current entrenched leaders . The goverment you know is corrupted on a massive scale. So what about logistics.

Don't become what you hate.

sorry to take so long to reply...I will re read and reply some more tomorrow..I am not feeling to well.

Capital punishment will be accepted in cases of wrongfull death only. If found guilty, you will have the option of a lie detector followed by Sodium pentathol, by passing either, this will give reason for life sentence and resources to prove innocence. By failing both, Off to the Chair!
Child molesters will be housed in special prisons for life! No visitation by family or friends. To this country you will be considered as a disgrace. Only by the measures listed for capital punishment shall you be awarded the privilage of proving innocence!
Rapists shall be housed the facility with the molestors with the same rules. I hope that they all get along.

That is a good idea....

This one is good too----------->Churches and religious organizations have lost tax free status due to new system. If the Vatican wants the U.S. covered with Catholic organizations, they have the bucks, let em' spend it!

I've had a hard day....I'm kinda depressed. But we need to debate the arts....tomorrow ok?

Errr...resign, I guess. I'm an anarchist. I want neither to govern nor to be governed.

The Tokosan Presidental campaign:

(I start this with the knowlege that any of us here will never become the president, and also with the knowlege that the president would never have the power to do most of what is listed here.)


Domestic:

All income tax will be gone. Instead, we wil use a national sales tax, where you only pay tax for what you use.... and less tax on essential items like food... so the rich pay alot and the poor pay alot less, just like now, but with no IRS.

Welfare will be deleted. Instead will be "job training camps" where miscreants and addicts can come for a free meal and lodging, on the basis that they take job training and/or addiction treatment.

The drug war will end, all interference with foreign countries based on smuggling wil cease. Instead, an environment will be created where less people turn to drugs... less poverty, less drugs.... In the meantime, marijuana and other "soft" drugs will be completely legal.... and taxed of course. Hard drugs such as cocaine, opiates, and prescription drugs will continue to be illegal, but not as a harsh penalty that goes on the record.

Prisons will not be hellish hellholes designed for punishment, instead each offender's punishment will be custom-taylored for his or her offense. Got cracked out and robbed a car? Rehab and detox for you! Killed your entire family, brutally torturing them? Firing squad for you!

The power of lawyers will be taked out of American society. They shall serve the purpose of helping others in the law, not making ludacris amounts of money off the troubles of others, and bringing frivilous lawsuits.

Campaign financing will be outlawed. The government shall provide free air time and enough media to get equal attention to all candidates... contributions by corporations and lobbying groups in exchange for favours will be outlawed... any and all funds will be provided by the government.

Foreign:

The USA shall withdraw from the UN, declaring it a broken institution, and in need of abolishing, and demand that it's headquarters be removed from New York. Same goes for the useless African Union.

Put serious economic pressure on every country with a bad human rights record... if they do not respond to that then military options willl be considered. Any country that improves it's conditions will be handsomely rewarded. Those that wish to shall recieve generous loans.

If any civil war, rebellion, or genocide breaks out at any point, and the local government fails to act effectively, immediate and overwhelming military force will be used to quell it.

As for the war on terror, it shall continue, untill the countries that produce the terrorists stop being the breeding holes that they are. This will be accomplished by assisting them to become economically successful. Discontent breeds resistance. Remove that and the problem is gone.

Since all the liberals say we started a war for oil... might as well! Attack Saudi Arabia instantly, taking all thier oil for ourselves and our allies! .50c a gallon here we come!


To help pay for all this madness:

All national relics will be sold on EbAy.

Bye, bye, envoronmental restrictions, untill all the "human" problems are solved.

Legal taxation of previously illegal contraband will make a ton!

Looting of corrupt goverment's riches will make a ton also!


Well I'm done for now, anything else, just ask me.


TOKOSAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

[tokosan]

Errr...resign, I guess. I'm an anarchist. I want neither to govern nor to be governed.

BTW, anarchy is only a transition from one government to another.... not a permanant thing, never has been, never will be. So get used to the fact and drop that anarchy crap.

[ermitonto]

Obviously you haven't the slightest clue what anarchism is. It is the restructuring of society from the bottom-up rather than the top-down along socialistic rather than authoritarian capitalist lines. It is rule by the people directly, organized into federations based on free association, not the absence of rule. The only reason anarchy has failed in the past is because capitalists have crushed it with their militaries. Study the Spanish and Russian Revolutions sometime. Anarchists don't claim to have a blueprint for a permanent society; they realize that nothing is permanent but change. But anarchist-communist societies have been around a hell of a lot longer than government has (every society that existed more than 10,000 years ago lived without government, and *gasp* everybody didn't rape and murder each other senselessly). Face it. Practically every indigenous people has organized their society in an anarchistic and communistic way, and it wasn't "chaos and destruction" like the capitalists like to portray anarchy as. And neither was the anarchy practiced during the Spanish Civil War and in the Ukraine during the Russian Revolution before they were crushed by the capitalists.
