Response to Should we start a new political party?

from Michael M. McFall (mcfallm@aol.com)
Either start a new one or capture one of the two that exist now. If you get a good cadre going in each state you can disenfranchise the established status quo party buracrats. It would be difficult, but it would work. Third parties normally only cause a deterioration in one of the two existing parties. Perhaps the "Rugged Individualist Republicans" or "Independent Individualistic Democrats". Of course you could make a two party, sub party of the "Democratic Individualistic Republicans" and take over both parties. The problem most of us do not want to get dirty by going into politics, manure handling is OK, but politics is really dirty. As long as we let the others get by with what they are doing they will continue to gain power. Thank Nationally and Act Locally.

Both parties ahould only be allowed to collect funds from private individuals, with an elimination of soft money.

The income tax should be reformed but not replaced with a sales tax. Sales taxes hit those whose spening is on essentials (food, medicine, housing and basic transportation) more than any one else. Any tax system will work if applied properly, but if gutted for fat cat exemptions all will put us back where we started.

Tax any entity that is not a real person at twice the rate that real people are taxed, Corporations, limited liability enterprises and PACs currently control the government. Let them pay for their extra protection.

I will vote for Keyes in the primary on Tuesday, as he is more in line with our position than the other available candidates in my primary. I like many of the positions of the lesser party's candidates but they are not even on my ballot.
