1.) Identify with the Republican party. The first President that I voted for was Ronald Reagan and I've voted republican ever since. The reason being is, the republican party lines up with my belief in moral values, capitalism and the free market. Socialism a proven failure. The republican party for the most part is for having a smaller government. I feel like our government has grown at a rate that the rest of the country can't keep up with. This last quarter our economy grew at 2% GDP and most of that was from federal government.
2.) I'm not sure about whether we need political parties in America or not, but I feel like for the most part part our two party systems have failed the American people. Our country at this moment is in a financial mess. Our national debt is around 16 trillion dollars and growing and our political leaders don't seem to understand what's at risk. When I was growing up I never dreamed that America would have to borrow money from China. Our country has given so much in foreign aid, to other countries that never reach the populas, it's just spent on their military. I sometimes wish there was a third party that would rise up with better ideas about how to fix the problems of America.
3.) I really like the Tea Party. Taxed Enough Already!! I feel like we are taxed enough already. In this county I live in, we have the highest unemployment rate in the state of Tennessee. County government Has to have money to run, so that means higher taxes. Our property taxes go up every year and this year they added a wheel tax to our county. This is an example of how things work at a county level to the state level then all the way to the top at the federal government. The tea party stands for lower taxes, smaller government, moral value, and conservatism. I agree to all of that.
I commented on: Robert Cook, Davis Smith, and Tinisha Keys.
I am also torn as to whether I think there should be a need for political parties. It seems to me that the people with the most money are chosen to lead those parties and that some people that would be just as capable are looked over. Either way, I'm not sure how I feel about it either way for sure.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the TEA Party,I too feel like we are taxed enough already actually I think we are taxed way to much for what little money we earn. I too dont really know if we should have political parties in our world or not because most people who run let their people down when they get elected.
ReplyDeleteI like that you have such strong political views. You know what you like and you stick to it. I agree with you about the Tea Party, because there are taxes on just about everything we need to live.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you on several points. First of all I am not a Republican. I have never really labeled myself as either one. I just vote for who I feel will do the best job. Even though I also feel that our current system has been a failure I definately think we need political parties. Without them we would have a very disorganized country. I do agree with you about the economy and I wish someone could find an answer. We are definately taxed to death and Tennessee is worse than some of the other states.
