Government should Serve To Regulate the Wealthy,institutions/corporations but NOT individuals much?
I AM THINKING OF STARTING MY OWN PARTY WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF THESE IDEALS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE BEST OF THE BEST FROM IDEAS AROUND THE WORLD? I am thinking of trying to create a party around this basis. Sure individuals must be regulated too but the average everyday person in America the little cleaning lady and the Wal Mart workers aren't having THEIR BEST interests served in America that's the PROBLEM. BASIS FOR ELECTING POLITICIANS: Politicians don't have the attitude that the average poor worker who makes 20 thousand a year is actually MY BOSS since they are the ones who voted me into office and our PAYING MY SALARY with their tax dollars. How can I serve MY BOSS(s) today to make their lives easier? Economy: If you look at countries that have a better economy now and (happier longer living people) Norway Sweden Finland Denmark whom have way more SOCIALISM in their economy compared to America but still incentives to WORK HARDER while at the same time keeping tight tabs on businesses and the wealthy ; Business of a LARGE size like 10 million or more in sales should be REQUIRED TO UNIONIZE like they are in Denmark no more of this Wal Mart low pay taxpayers take the social security tab nonsense anymore. You are allowed to make a profit but you will pay; In countries like Denmark though you need to pay a 90% tax if you are making millions (just as the wealthy were back in the 50s in America). Elected officials shouldn't represent someone who makes 100 million getting to keep 80 million why does anyone need that kind of money and why should you care? They can do with 10 and the other 90 million can be used for EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE. Gun rights: Gun rights are a MUST to protect people, however training courses in the basics of firearms and why we have them should be TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL as a required class by professionals using blanks and other safety mechanisms. Having an armed society is essential, but having an armed society that doesn't know the power of what they have is a disaster. An 18 YO with an 44 magnum not knowing how to use it is a recipe for a gun ACCIDENT and most gun accidents happen because the individual didn't KNOW how to properly use the gun. By the same token here in Montana there are few burglaries since people who are criminals are afraid of being shot as they should be if they are endangering someone's family, house or property. Healthcare: Everyone should be entitled to "reasonable healthcare" as they are entitled to "Reasonable food and shelter". This does not mean that if it costs 5 billion to save your life society should NOT have to spend that much of it's resources to save you sorry. IF however you are sick you should be taken care of even with HIV your getting help shouldn't be dependent on if you are POOR. At the same time healthcare needs a good dose of regulation - healthcare is in favor too much of doctors and PATENT HOLDERS. Much of what is paid goes to companies that invented a new medical device whom are getting EXCESSIVELY rewarded. The government should regulate how much companies can make off a medical patent so as to reward them for inventing something but making sure they aren't making 800% profit margins which happens now that's sick. Doctors especially rich ones who make over a million a year would need to have their salaries analyzed as to see how much they should JUSTLY be paid. This is just some of the things the party would represent I could go on forever but what do people think?

Read John Locke's Treatise of Government. It should be required reading. You will find a lot in common and gain better insight to the philosphies which surrounded the creation of our Constitution. I appreciate you expressing your thoughts but those statements have a long way to mature before they could be used to construct a coherent platform. We all grumble and moan about every issue under the sun. But the bottom line is still taxes. Figure out a way to simplify the tax codes. And in my opinion taxes on earned income is unethical and counter productive in the long run.

"I AM THINKING OF STARTING MY OWN PARTY WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF THESE IDEALS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE BEST OF THE BEST FROM IDEAS AROUND THE WORLD?" You call these ideas "best of the best"? Some of them are downright tyrannical. And some people wonder how the Nazis rose to power. "Business of a LARGE size like 10 million or more in sales should be REQUIRED TO UNIONIZE like they are in Denmark no more of this Wal Mart low pay taxpayers take the social security tab nonsense anymore." See? "You are allowed to make a profit but you will pay; In countries like Denmark though you need to pay a 90% tax if you are making millions " Wheres the incentive to work to be a millionaire if I'm going to be taxed at 90 percent?

If you require business to unionize then the you will do nothing but drive jobs overseas. Remember that unions distort the labor market by breaking the link between a woker's pay and the value produced by that worker. Your regulation of profits from medical research and innovation will also drive those businesses overseas. You see - for every new drug that makes it to market - 19 failed. Unless you are going to have the government pick up ths costs of the failed drugs - nobody will be able to afford to do medical research if they cannot recoup their money from those drugs that do work. If a doctor is skilled enough that he earns a million dollars a year - then he will likes=wise leave the country for someplace that will pay him what he is worth. And who pays for this 'reasonbable healthcare' for everybody? It sounds like you expect me to not only pay for my family's healthcare - but to pay for your 'free' healthcare also. BTW - how many people in Denmark are subject to this 90% tax? I bet most of them left the country. The next issue you have is that the people whom you want to tax at 90% are the people whose money we need to grow the economy. Who is going to invest in a new business or expanding an existing business if they are only going to keep 10% of what they earn? You need to learn something about economics. . Edit - I just noticed a rather scary Freudian slip on your part. You want freedom for individuals - just as long as they are not wealthy.
