What the heck. I am the only person in the world who is right on all of the issues and I am so darned likable. What you are about to read requires thought and reflection. You have not heard these ideas before. After you think about it for awhile you will see that I am right.
Here is my campaign platform in a nutshell:
1. As President I will promote ownership over benefits where possible. I would put it to you that Americans own the mineral rights to federal lands where there are energy resources. I would even say that Americans own the very wind that blows through the energy producing wind turbans that are beginning to populate our world. If the people of America were paid a royalty directly to themselves instead of to the government they would be voting for an extra source of income for themselves instead of a government handout that is here today and gone tomorrow. These resources may even be exported. Now I know that Americans will not get rich on these monies (unless they are saved and invested wisely over a number of years) but it will be a start. We will be drilling for energy to make ourselves free and independent from foreign influence with the backing of the majority of Americans. States should provide their residents the same benefits when resources are used from state owned lands. As far as benefit programs go we should try to see where we could just send the people the money and let them contract with private enterprise to administer the benefits that are necessary. Now you may think that unwise but the genius is that these people will begin to vote for conservatives instead of for liberals.
2. College - online - provided by private enterprise - you pay for the testing -
SHOULD BE FREE!
How much better it would be for a business to hire a self starter who worked his or her way through this online educational system, learning practical skills in a practical way from the best teachers and teaching techniques currently known to exist. Education should be revamped to prepare our young people to be prosperous in the twenty first century while promoting self reliance and non redundancy Students should not have to repeatedly learn the same things over and over again. Now this would not be the right thing for everybody but it would be great for those who feel like they missed their chance and for those to whom that type of education might best be suited. The educational system seems to be the last refuge of those who resist technology and innovative thinking. Just think, we could get the best teachers and give everybody the same chance to learn. American values chould be taught all over the world. It is time.
As for the public school system, when George Bush proposed that we accomplish good works in this county by taking money directly from the government and giving it to religious charities he provided a model for what we should do with education. We could allow the public school system to be a private school system by creating an organizational structure separating the school from the government. The school system would be insulated from the government so that local schools could pray or teach art and music (instead of teaching to a test). They could attract students from anywhere they wanted so schools would be competing against each other. Give control of the schools back to the people.
3. Taxes. We need to build some models within our system of 50 states to illustrate to people what works. A flat tax, a fair tax, a progressive tax, an income tax, and so on. If people could see the results it might actually sway them to make the changes we need to make. It is hard to convince people to make major changes when the results are unknown. The actual implementation of test systems would open the door for a change.
These solutions would promote freedom and excellence in our America. Why not?
Remember our politics are Nacho Politics.
