Well if you think I think government is the answer then you have the wrong impression of my beliefs. I just don't have as hard lined a stance on some issues that wouldn't make me a true conservative
I didn't call anybody out specifically...
While you're at it... what policy believe, do you have, that would differentiate you from a so called hard-lined?
1. End the drug war
2. Change the thinking with respect to sentencing and prison. People need to be able to have a way out of the system to reduce the amount of repeat offenders, especially non violent offenders
3. There's nothing wrong with having a public school system, but the system has been distorted by self interest of teachers unions, administrators, school boards, and politicians where actual education of kids is no longer the priority and also eliminate the dept of education
4. Community college should be free for anyone who is going to learn a trade.
5. Income tax should be eliminated and a consumption tax be put in its place.
6. government should be out of the student loan game
1. End the drug war -
I can probable get onboard with some of this. Give more context.2. Change the thinking with respect to sentencing and prison. People need to be able to have a way out of the system to reduce the amount of repeat offenders, especially non violent offenders.
Trump was all in favor of this.3. There's nothing wrong with having a public school system, but the system has been distorted by self interest of teachers unions, administrators, school boards, and politicians where actual education of kids is no longer the priority and also eliminate the dept of education.
Completely agree. Thats why more people are going home and/or private schools. What about the voucher program?4. Community college should be free for anyone who is going to learn a trade.
I'm never a proponent of free! How would you handle the same challenges to point 3 above?5. Income tax should be eliminated and a consumption tax be put in its place.
Sold!6. government should be out of the student loan game
Sold!Looks like we have common ground. Let's rally together to change the political structure moving forward. BTW, you may get a current Democratic Politician to support one of those points. Republicans, in general, will support 1, 2, 3 and 5.
