Aright, so we know what this page hopes to achieve, and why the extreme libertarian platform doesn't fit that, it's time we get down to the specifics.
Outline of Positions (subject to change and very open to compromise):
-Cuts to government subsides
-Medicare & Social Security Reform
-Replace Welfare with a small universal government payment
-Repeal of patriot act & authority to indefinitely detain without trial
-End to the "War on Drugs"
-A Carbon Tax
-Replacement or reduction of corporate, investment, and income tax with a national consumption tax
-Less interventionist policies including a rejection of the Bush doctrine and an end to the war in Afghanistan
-Election reform: End the electoral collage and Super Pacs
-Abortion always legal in cases of rape incest and life/heath of the mother, otherwise left to the states
-Local authority on gun control
-Marriage Equality and end to capital punishment, on a state-by-state basis
-Moderate deregulation measures
-Raised budget for education & environmental protection
-eliminate legal tender laws and to remove the sales tax on gold and silver
In the posts following this, I will make the case for each of these positions.
