I think people discover what their true political affiliations are when they become more educated over time. When I was 18 I thought I was a democrat because I had a very liberal leaning towards social views. And then when I started learning about business, regulations, and etc. I just found that Government are just a bunch of prom kings and queens telling the kids who created lemonade stands that not only did they owe them a cut of their profits, but how and where they could sell their lemonade. And there is a shitload of corruption involved because they will tell you to move your lemonade stand so that they can give the location to a friend. I believe we need a Government, but I don't believe we need an omnipotent Government that has the power to employ half of the nation despite not having a notion of equity or a competitive pay scale. So slowly over time I found that I am actually Libertarian and I vote for Republicans because at the end of the day, the only real way the Government can make people's lives better is to get out of the way (and pockets) of the private sector. Which is the real backbone of this country. The private sector is the only sector that has the real power to improve the quality of life and self esteem of Americans, because as FDR put it in his extended bill of rights, every American has the right to a good job. I think we should have a constitutional amendment that makes it unconstitutional for Congress to raise taxes above 15% for all Americans, and I think the tax payers should have a say in how 5% of their Tax Dollars get allocated into the budget. The President and Congress gets to say where the other 10% goes. I think if we had a system like that, then everybody would get a little bit of what they want. You care about the state of our national parks? Then say that is where you want a percentage of your 5% to be allocated for this voting cycle. You think our military sucks? Send your bucks there. You think we need to fund the FCC because they got rid of net neutrality. Then go for it. And if you don't really care and think the President or Congress knows best, then allocate your 5% to be distributed according to their best judgement. Send your tax dollars where you feel they need to go. It's the best way to get a comprehensive understanding of what exactly the people's concerns are. Perhaps it would be chaotic, but what is to say that democracy shouldn't have an element of volatile chaos in it?
