Need To Find a Politician Like me

Name: Bob 2011-04-07 19:10

Hey everyone. Um...new to this board. I'm in a political class where we have to run a campaign and find someone in the American government in real life who has a similar voting record as us. Except, I'm running as a third party and can't find anyone who has similar beliefs as mine. Here's my stuff:

-Replace Sales Tax with VAT that is applicable to imports, move emphasis from income tax
-Agnostic view towards gay marriage and drug leagalization, state's rights issue
-Use police forces in tandem with IRS to catch tax evaders
-Raise 1099 taxes and cut W2 taxes
-Work with private corporations to aggressively invest in infrastructure in developing markets for American jobs
-Don't actively pursue tax cuts for green markets but tighten restrictions on coal power plants
-Support nuclear power
-Allow abortion in all instances in the first trimester, restrict it to special cases in the second and ban it in the third
-Devolve most 'welfare state' policies to state agencies and use federal funding to shift remittance payments for equal funding of education and health
-Give shareholders tax breaks on their stock taxes if their corporate investment turns in its taxes in a timely manner
-Extend medicare to anyone under the age of 18

Your platform sucks.
I hope you're happy about the shame you have brought to your family.

You'll find this board populated mostly by egotists and neo-nazis

I can't answer your question, I doubt anyone here will be able to actually.  I suggest googling each topic and finding the politician that is most like you through that.

Still a step up from the majority of the population stuck in the normality trap. The very fact they harbor such fringe opinions means they have done some thinking at one point, they may not be very good at thinking but at least they have.

Actually, it actually isn't a guarantee of any order or organization.  There's the possibility that, despite all their considerations, they've missed a basic train of thought somewhere along the path of their overthinking and not even reached the plateau of "normalcy" yet to go beyond it.

You sound like my kind of guy, especially if electing means you'll be able to remove the "Kill the police" basement dweller who keeps making multiple posts to his own threads to make himself look like a bigger force than he is.

Alright, I get the picture. I come from old-school liberal parents, have a bunch of conservative catholic friends, and my brother is studying economics at an ivy league school and is basically libertarian. I've tried not to let one group influence my views. The guy I admire most in American politics right now is Fareed Zakaria.

I tend to take the German FDP's position on police....we need more officers, not more laws.
