The Libertarian Party
The libertarians are great on ideology but weak on practical proposals that could actually be implemented into law. Libertarians by nature do not like to tell others what to do, that's what the Republicans and Democrats are known for.
I would propose that the Libertarian party develop and present a simple platform of proposed changes to the overall structure of our government to return it to a Federal Republic.
I think it would look something like:
- Replace all Federal and State taxes with a Personal Consumption Tax on all products and personal services consumed by each individual in both private and business life. This form of taxation would treat each American equally instead of the current patchwork of overlapping and highly complicated taxation that we have now. Complicated taxation puts the average American at a great disadvantage because they are incapable of understanding our tax system without paying for assistance.
- Equalize revenue distributed by the Federal and State governments that is spent within local communities so that every American receives an equal per capita share.
I don't believe that someone in Washington, D.C. or a representative of another state has better ideas on how to solve the problems of my community so why should they have a say in how my communities share of the revenue is spent. About 60% of the current Federal budget is spent domestically but the local congressman (especially those recently elected) has little say on how the money is allocated. To correct this the U.S. Congressman should be given direct spending control over one half of the per capita budget for his district and equal per capita voice in how the other half is spent at the Federal level.
- Move all laws that apply to individual citizens to the Local level because that is where they will have to be enforced. Federal laws that are forced on Local communities that do not agree always create more problems than they solve. Re-focus and simplify laws that apply to individuals and eliminate laws that tell others how they must live.
Thank you for your time,
