I have a hard fight in my system when I have to choose between being a Republican and a Democrat. There's no fight as to whether I'm liberal (but that's between me, Jesus, J. J. Rousseau and Thomas Jefferson).
The government should be more favorable towards SMALL business, state's rights, minimal taxes, freedom of speech, teaching OF religion and prayer in school and allowing all non-essentials to be privatized.
BUT we have these unalienable rights that are apart of existence.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men* are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
This ensures health care for all, means to live for all, a right to privacy, and freedom of expression. I put PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION in the unalienable rights category as it feeds into a pursuit of happiness, since without it (due to urban sprawl) people are unable to go to work.
"Where is all of this heading?" you might ask. Well stick with me, my story gets better. APPARENTLY some Republicans have FINALLY realized just how the lines between "Little Government" and "Big Business" have begun to blur. This $700 Billion dollar bail-out of Wall Street is disgusting and I don't understand how it can be stomached. How many small businesses fail in a year and how many of them are left to languish? But when big business messes up big time, it falls on the tax payer to overtax themselves to save companies that are no longer needed by the people. The government has NO right to bail out the stock market. It may run counter to those CEO's pursuit of happiness, but a better solution can be solved than taking away everyone else's right to the pursuit of happiness by forcing the public to work even harder into an even earlier mass grave. We don't have the money for that. We need a Perrot to step in and talk about the deficit add infinitum until the public cares again.
*The little bit about "men" is an interesting part of this whole document and I propose a simple amendment to the English language that will solve the whole "crisis" and bring this nation closer to its glorious future. Temen. The Temale gender (the spicier gender). This allows for the universality of "man" to stand for "all" in documents, but without the need to keep saying "he/she" or "men and women." Keep in mind, this is by no means the final version, "tehe" could use some revision, but it's the next step in gender equality. If anyone has any further revisions, I'm open.
