I have expressed some general opinions on what the FAIRParty should be during the week and now I need to get back to some of my research to be able to put together a party platform.
Research area one: Reviewing the Constitution of the United States of America with Amendments, almost done on Amendment 14 right now. I really want to tie the party platform back to the Constitution, I don’t believe the government can solve your personal problems and our Constitution didn’t try to either but I need to know it well enough to be able to readily cite from it.
Research area two: The two books describing and then defending the FAIRTax, the first book which I am reading last is comparing the FAIRTax to our current tax and discusses how it was formulated. The second book defends the FAIRTax by answering critics concerns with the program. The biggest criticism seems to be that Congress and the Lobbyist will lose their most powerful fund raising tool and that is selling favors through the tax code.
Research area three: Reviewing the Budget for the Federal Government and discussing what I think would be essential services that each of the those large or important agencies provide and at what cost, maybe we can better provide the most important services cheaper without imposing someone else’s ideas of what is right for you. This includes food choice and labeling issues, drug and medical care choices, through education choices and funding options. Remembering there is no such thing as a free education, drug, food, housing, or medical care; someone has to pay for it and more and more it is becoming our children and grandchildren. How much should the government borrow and what for?
Research area four (and last one for now): A party plank by plank comparison. I would like to start with the Wigs Party but I’m not sure how much information I would be able to find about their last Presidential Campaign so that leaves me with the two major parties and the two bigger minor parties and then the FAIRParty plank as proposed by me until I get the comments section operating on the web site. In case you are wondering this material is owned and copyrighted by me, I just have to get the proper disclosures up on the web site before I put any actual book material on the website or in the blogs.
Tomorrow, Friday is my wife’s day off so I will be taking the earlier train home and spending time with her instead of writing to those of you that are interested and reading this material. Now I’m going to do some research, have a great weekend and I’ll write again on Tuesday. With all my Love, Dennis
