I am socially liberal but monetarily conservative.

I believe entitlement programs should be cut in half (hire those people to build roads instead, make them do something to help society!) I also think military spending should be cut in half and spent on better education, roads, new renewable tech etc.

The United States should have the best and most efficient tech. United states should have better internet than South Korea and better cell towers than the rest of the world. religion should affect politics less and give people more choices. The government should make heathcare more competitive so costs go down. Crack down on lobbying. Make compromises so government can function.

If I had complete control of the United States I would make a fair playing field for everyone and turn this great country to a giant construction zone! Who's with me homies??

There are too many variables to the human mind and responding to their environment to accurately gauge what specific groups they belong to. Political parties today couldn't begin to cover it. They only serve to funnel people into an A, B, or C category. There is no critical thinking necessary.

Apolitical. I'm just indifferent for every political party. I can see through their lies.

Healthcare should not cost anything. Just standard fees, nothing else.
It's rediculous to me that they actually make a business out of people's health.

Some people being forced to sell their homes to stay healthy, or in worst case, simply left to die because their insurance doesn't cover it, is just mind boggling to me how it's been allowed to go on for this long in a first world country.
A friend of mine in the US got bit by a dog, and had to pay over $3000 for the shots. He's just a poor student...

Why did he have to pay for his medical care? The dogs owner should have been responsible.

And how is making money from keeping people alive and healthy some how worse than say making video games for a living?



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

The only problem with the health care costing nothing or very little would be that by lowering the cost:

1. More people would be able to afford it making it so that more people live past their productivity
2. Insurance agencies and the government will make less money if they drop the price(i know with economics you could show with decreases in prices they could actually make more money by having more customers however with such a significant drop in prices that we are talking about there is no way to gain more by dropping the price from say $450(my family insurance) to $100.)
4. There would be fewer high qualified doctors due to pay decreases
5. And the government wont get to decide who lives or died.

I promise I am for lowering the prices becasue $450 a month to be healthy when I only make 2k after taxes a month is very hard to pay along with all other bills. All I am saying is that the government does not care about the average person. they care about protecting themselves and the higher ups in the country. I suggest if in the next 10-20 years you want that kidney transplant or need a bone marrow transplant you better be making 6 figures a year.



Democratic Communist.
Free Healthcare
Free Education
National energy sector
Heavier taxes on large sums of passive money (aka gigantic savings that are nearly never touched)
But still allow people who made a good contribution to society to have a higher standard as their reward.
Crackdown on lobbyists
More tax benefits for smaller to middle companies
Less tax benefits for mega corporations (since they usually pay next to no taxes)
Country must fundamentally stay a democracy
A governement for the people
