Politics

Reading these pages may cause you to think I am a hard core Republican, I am not.

I am a hard core Constitutional Conservative with a Christian bias.

I believe the Democrats and Republicans have made this a fight over the haves and have-nots while the framers of the Constitution clearly designed it to be a fight between the wants and want-nots (both the very rich and the very poor want not). side note.. There was a political party during President James Monroe called the Democratic Republicans, one should look to see what that was about.

Neither the rich nor the poor should be deciding the direction of this country, it should be decided by the overwhelming numbers of those actively striving to achieve success. This is Constitutional and can only be found under the financial background of capitalism.

There should be NO federal tax dollars for Private initiatives.
No one should be earmarking my contributions to America,
to be used in any private enterprise that I deem immoral or unjust.

NO abortion funding
NO local bridges or roads to anywhere
NO business bailouts

Federal tax dollars must be spent for National purposes. i.e..
National Defense,
maintenance of the 3 branches of government,
U.S. infrastructure of highways.
any project where all states benefit equally, regardless of the project location.

Health Care is an individual responsibility

There should be open and competitive insurance and personal medical savings programs. While they should be available between states, the state where you live must have commissions able to govern and protect you from fraud. Since this would be an interstate enterprise the federal government would include a commission to link the states together for information and judicial exchange.

The want-nots, particularly the very poor, want you to take care of them. If you want to take care of them there are countless charities. Maybe there are too many individual charities supporting their founders and there should be one charity for the 'Want-nots'. They still get some care through county hospitals and regardless of how it is funded, we pay for it. The cure is making them an active part of society and providing affordable insurance.

There is another category here I call the 'can-nots'.
These were once maintained by the churches, but the state and federal system has taken over their care. This is much too personal of a issue for the federal government to make decisions on. The highest level of maintenance for the can-nots should be coming from the state, but the greatest involvement should come from local communities where the individual is known.

Education is a local responsibility

The federal school system was accepted so that the local schools could get federal tax dollars. The problem is that the federal government now dictates the limits to what can be taught. Government schools are prone to indoctrination of judgment which does not agree with the parenting and morals of the local community. It really does not matter whether the schools receive their money from the federal tax, state tax, or local tax, it still comes out of your pockets. If the United States wants federal tax dollars to fund and govern the schools, so be it, but shouldn't it be an amendment, or at least law that the congress and or the states voted on?
