Forget Political Parties - What do You want to See America Become?

Tweet

I'm tired of the war between parties and the characters that represent them. What do you want to see happen in this country and how do you think we can arrive at that point? Remember that what any political candidate says is not what they will end up doing. Being aware of people's track records in their daily lives is what to base decisions off of, because in front of the camera it can all change. I want to see a strong economy and a small % flat income tax for everyone that works. I want to see everyone that is on welfare work community service hours to earn full benefits, or have a diminishing returns policy based on their efforts. Having a third of the working population, working again would be enormous to helping the economy. Remember that there is Social Security for the retired and special circumstances for disabled, so they are not factored in, but even they have skills that can be utilized. As part of the above, it should be made that businesses have an easier time operating here than moving over seas. Jobs are vital for our communities, and even under 100 people displaced takes a lot of currency out of circulation, let alone thousands. I want to see the notion of 'political correctness' abolished, because all it is, is a side-stepped form of censorship. We don't need to be censored, since all that does is create annoying situations. I want the heath care system reworked because having the old mode of competition among hospitals made it easier to afford health care, and new sites and businesses that pinpoint prescription medicines are making it far less expensive than it has been with insurance. Options make things better, and middle men make things worse. States need to decide things for themselves, because we are not a 'one size fits all' nation. The cost of living in rural Pennsylvania is not anywhere near what it is in California. Trying to decide a minimum wage based on that is ridiculous, and remember that the entire scale of the economy gets messed up to compensate for the raise. If anything, lower the cost of living by being strategic about energy and basic costs and it will do far more to boost everyone. Not spending money is much better than earning a little more. It's time for technology to actually start helping us save money rather than it being used to make things more expensive. I would like lost technology to be restored by pressuring the big oil companies and getting them to back off. Of course, I don't expect that any time soon, but having a car getting a hundred miles to the gallon was something that was around in the 1970s, I sure would like to have that technology available today. And there's more, but I don't want to write a report about it. I would like to hear what you want to have happen, preferably with a little realism and intelligence behind the answers.
