Firstly, I'm not a Dem.

Second, a lot of people that are rich can do to have their taxes higher than those who are poor. It's called a progressive tax structure.

Thirdly, so what if it's class warfare, maybe that's what I think is right, you pay your share.

Fair, but i still don't agree with you

Perhaps taxes don't have to be much higher. Think of two people, one makes 20000, the other 200000, if they were both to pay the same, say 2000 person 1 pays 1/10 of his income while person 2 pays 1/100. However, if the both paid 10% I'd be more agreeable, but I'd be a little happier still if person 2 were to pay just a little more.

My party would hold the following ideas :

Abortion/Gay "Marriage" would be left up to the states to put on the ballot.

Very Hawkish on foreign policy in this current enviroment. If it ever settled down where the world was slightly safer I would pull troops out of every foreign base with the exception of GITMO. I would reduce the size of the military to a 250,000 man force to come into compliance with the Constitutions anti-standing army principles.

I would revert the tax code and eliminate the IRS. Income tax would still however apply to corporations as that is what it was intended for. I would increase tariffs but not so badly as to be debilitating.

Our party would wish for the government to take over the National Road system and have repair stations located county wide across that nation.

Basically my party would push for the ideas of getting the government back to doing the job the Constitution laid out. Nothing more, nothing less.

States, may I suggest a name, The Constitution Party seems appropriate.

And thanks for backing me up JFK.

They push religion to much from what I hear. I would name my party the States Rights Party or State Sovereignty party.

I didn't think there still was a Constitution Party...
