Red-Beard for President
 
As you may, or may not know, I am running for President of the United States. I am formally annoucing that I am a candidate for President for the 2016 election. Why announce so far out? Well, the election cycles are extending, and I think it will take 8 years to re-educate the people of this country.

If Elected, I will work to:

Eliminate Personal income, Corporate, death, capital gains, etc taxes. It will be replaced with a consumption tax. The exclusions on this tax will be those generally exempted from sales tax: Basic necessities. I would include in this vehicles under a certain value, fuel, etc. The Percentage will be changed as needed.

Remove all drug laws. Period. All.

Release from Prision all non-violent drug offenders.

Remake welfare. Using the above prisons which are now vacant, we will create public housing. The guards will stay on to keep order! Food, a place to sleep, work out facilities, basic medical care will be provided. No other welfare provided. No, it will not be pretty, but it will keep people alive. HOWEVER, all people in the welfare program will be required to take birth control pills, or injections. Doesn't meet you religous beliefs? Too bad, let your church take care of you then.

Health care: Create a basic set of "free" clinics. These will be staffed by the doctors with the lowest grades, but still passed. The docs will be paid a basic salary, and require no malpractice insurance. No malpractice lawsuits allowed out of this program. Medicare, etc be converted to this system. Only basic drugs will be given out with the program. Elective surgurey, transplants, hip replacements, gender changes, etc, are not covered.

Gun laws: All repealed, with the exception that felons cannot own firearms. There will be a process for felons to rehabilatate their right.

Lawsuits: All that are taken on a contingent basis, the LAWYER will be required to pay the legal fees of the other Law firm if they lose. They need some skin in the game.

Abortion: I don't like it, but if YOU want one, go get one.

Military: If you are an active duty member of the armed forces, you do not pay any taxes. Reservists/National guard will get a "discount" card which will some percentage off, equal to the amount of time served in a year. If Active duty, full exemption.

Speed Limits: Set by each state.

Drinking age: 16 yrs old, unless your parents are present. Then it is whatever THEY say.

What Else should I add to my platform? SmileWavy

Porsche-O-Phile 04-23-2008 05:00 AM

I'd vote for ya'.

Sounds like you might do better in Congress though.

onewhippedpuppy 04-23-2008 05:00 AM

Can I be your VP? We're both engineers, we'd have the geek vote all wrapped up.

Mo_Gearhead 04-23-2008 05:04 AM

My God ...I could never vote for a candidate with a RED BEARD! The horror!

(Perhaps if you had a sex change or joined the New Black Panthers?)

Mule 04-23-2008 05:09 AM

Unfortunately, a campaign based on logic & reason has not a prayer in today's America, but I'd knock doors for ya'!

lendaddy 04-23-2008 05:26 AM

Illegals? Foreign policy?

But I gotta tell ya I like what I see so far :)

+1. Since power (and the retention of) seems to corrupt so many, term limits should be a given. Career politicians should be eliminated imo...

onewhippedpuppy 04-23-2008 05:37 AM

F-'em all foreign policy - the USA has been the policeman of the world for too long. Sending billions without thanks abroad, all while our national debt rises exponentially. Despite our efforts, the rest of the world loves to hate us. So to that, I say, "we're out". We're taking a few years off, and fixing our own problems. So, while we're away, I would suggest calling France, Germany, Russia, or any of the abundance of other countries that is perfectly capable of helping. This does not count for countries like Canada, Australia, etc that have stood beside us without wavering. To them I say, "we're cool".

onewhippedpuppy 04-23-2008 05:43 AM

Immigration - radical overhaul of the entire system. Increase visas for highly educated individuals interested in coming to America, but selection is based on domestic DEMAND so as to not put Americans out of a job. As for the illegals, step one is to build a big fence along the border. Step two is to simply enforce the laws on the books. Criminal penalties for employers of illegal workers. To that end, the INS would be strengthened, and actively seek out these employers and illegals. Allow law enforcement to verify citizenship, and immediately deport any who are not here legally. Streamline the process to becoming an American citizen, including learning American history and english. If you can't learn it, you can't come in.

Save money by reducing the militaries job to defending your border. Period.

charleskieffner 04-23-2008 05:50 AM

first and foremost, i want to throw my hat in the ring for the exalted position of:

head of the prezidential security detail(w/white house credit card-no limit) and prezidential head of your escort services(i will cull all the mutts).

next i want you to declare baja norte and baja sur the 51st state before the messikans completely screw up the entire peninsula.

baja would make a perfect miss-kill launching site for north korea if they choose to continue with their nuke program.

baja would also allow a port for arizona which the dumbass elected officials couldnt figure out years ago. this would enhance commerce greatly and allow porsches and parts to be shipped cheaper to arizona.

i would really like to see all anti gunners placed in various slums/barrios/downtown areas of various cities for 1 week and see how many survive and how many rethink their dumbass anti gun stance.

i would like to see also train service (bullet trains of course) initiated across the u.s. again to service small towns and this would allow us to reuse our mobile nuke-clar missile trains as a deterrent to any fool country that wants to lob a few nukes at us. they would be hidden in various areas around the u.s. and could not be seen by satellites ever.

ive only had 2 cups of coffeee since 4am..........a few more and i'll be on a roll!

Joeaksa 04-23-2008 06:08 AM

I would be happy to fly your jet...

looneybin 04-23-2008 09:13 AM

I'd be glad to provide architectural services for your presidential library after your 2 terms are over

scottmandue 04-23-2008 09:49 AM

I apply for the job of boobie inspector!

I said it first!

looneybin 04-23-2008 09:57 AM

DAMN, why didn't i think of that :)

Rick Lee 04-23-2008 10:07 AM

How about a federal ban on non-hands-free cell phones and texting while driving? Mandatory minimum in a labor camp of strict regime for first violation.

I'm all ears (and not Ross Perot), but think that position would be more suited for M21sniper (assuming he wants the job) :)

tabs 04-23-2008 11:05 AM

I WANA RUN AGAINST YOU...

Global Warming..what global warming....turn the AC on a little higher

Prisons should be abolished and we should return to Sharia Law...sell drugs off with your head, get caught stealing..chop off a hand...

Guns....throw the LIbs down in the GHETTTO and lets see how long it takes them to arm themselves. and if they don't make it well then they should have armed themselves if they wana live down in the Ghettoooo. I also think making Libs live in the Ghetto would be a good thing as they won't have to travel so far to help out the unfortunateds they are always harping about. Now they can really help on a daily basis...like getting robbed, raped and beaten.

Fergin Policy..Welll GW is MY HERO...talk smack about AMERIKA...and we bomb em back to the stone age...Oh wait some of em are already there. Well then we anthrax em

Welfare...work or starve, child labor laws are really overrated.

Abortions...we stearlize all the poor people

Free drugs...let everybody get high, we will put it in the water for Christs sake..the more stupified people are well the more my friends and I can steal...Ohhh wait Americans are allready stupified.

Illegals....hey slavery is highly underrated...they are here illegally anyway. Let em come...I hear them cotton fields acallin...or is it Strawberrys.

Lawsuits...well the losing attorney should have to live down in the Ghetto.

Education...information is a dangerous thing, can't let the people have too much knowledge, the education system in America is just fine the way it is.

TAXES..We tax the OPEC nations for protecting them from themselves...our military has got to do something anyway to keep busy. TAX collecting is a good occupation for them.

VOTE FOR ME>>>TABS DICTATOR FOR LIFE>>>>Ohhh I forgot to tell you that part, well... do to the international conpiracy of terrorists we need to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution.

come and live here Red-beard ! i even read somewhere here we have free drugs ! Not sure where to get those but you gotta love Holland. Hey you could be president here the one we have now is a joke :D

cashflyer 04-23-2008 12:56 PM

May as well vote for Red-Beard in 2016....
Rammstein's bid for the 2008 election didn't seem to go anywhere.

red-beard 04-23-2008 02:35 PM

Nuclear Power: Make a priority private development of Nuclear Generation for all electricity. Help create a standardized plant. I do not care about the carbon footprint, I just want to reduce the cost of electricity, and reduce our dependance on oil as a fuel of any kind.

Attorney General: I would appoint Joe Arpaio. I would work to minimize the number of laws, getting rid of enenforcable laws, etc. Once we have it down to the minimum to keep civil order, I'd let Joe enforce it.

Foreign Policy: In General, laissez-faire. Keep out foreign entanglements, like the founders wanted. Military should be kept strong. Talk softly, but carry a big stick.

Borders: Focus on keeping terrorists out. See below for "illegal" immigration. The borders should be enforced.

Immigration: If the economy takes off the way it should with the tax changes, we will not have to worry about Immigration. We will need to allow and regulate significant immigration.

Language: English is to be made the official language. Yes we should help immigrants learn english. A Basic understanding of english should be a requirement for working in the country.

UN: In general, request move from NYC to some "neutral" location. I don't expect a lot from the UN, as it represents the world as it is, not as we want it. But I don't see why the USA should be the main funder of the organization. Unless the UN adopts the golden rule.

biosurfer1 04-23-2008 02:48 PM

i'm loving your take on lawsuits!

tabs 04-23-2008 03:11 PM

Nuclear Power is unnecessary..just put all those Chinese on a treadmill that creats electricity.

The Justice system should adopt the Russian Model..a bullet in the back of the head.

Foreign Policy, lets just add more states...let us truly make it a UNITED STATES of the WORLD. with myself as the head of it all.

Borders and Illegal immigration into the homeland...let em come we need slaves....to clean our houses, cut our grass, do our cleaning and our laundry. Besides I like Mexican food, it makes me have gas.

Yes English should be the OFFICAL Language, but I say don't teach em it..the less they know the better.

The UN...what a great way to bribe everybody, so you can get your way. Of course you have to realize that for show they have to assert their pride and disagree once in awhile. Like someone would disagree with Mike Tysdon wanting some booty in prison. "OK OK I'm going to draw the line here, U can only but fk me for 2 hours and thats it, you hear."

red-beard 04-23-2008 06:15 PM

I will also appoint Superman to the vacant post of Surgeon General. I'm mean, what damage can he do there?

Mule 04-23-2008 08:20 PM

You were batting 1000 till you mentioned Arpaio. He's a self aggrandizing moralist. Wiwb would not be any worse. As for power:

kstar 04-23-2008 08:26 PM

I'd vote for you on your tax platform alone.

I like the lawyer/law suit position as well. I think the rest of the modern world employs a "loser pays" system, but could be wrong.

Best,

Kurt

EdT82SC 04-23-2008 08:42 PM

You've got my vote. I don't agree with everything you propose, but I agree with more of what you propose then the more of the same crowd we have running every four years.

red-beard 04-24-2008 04:49 AM

Sunsets: All laws must have a sunset, maximum of 10 years. If the law is good, it can be passed again. If it sucks (AWB for example) it will die.

Not to forget that every new law enacted, two old ones must be deleted...

Mule 04-24-2008 06:01 AM

There's a plank for the platform. Eliminate all useless laws. This should reduce the USCode by about 80%. Make laws in normal language! That way you don't need "The Supremes" to tell up what the definition of is is.

charleskieffner 04-24-2008 06:08 AM

your gaining momentum!

guns for all teachers after pysch test. kindergarten thru college!

porsche4life 09-14-2008 05:57 PM

Can I be the director of transportation. I think the prez should have an armored GT2. I volunteer to drive you anywhere in said car.

sammyg2 09-14-2008 07:16 PM

This is politics! It's evil, Mods get rid of it quick before the whining and complaining starts again!
