Social issues:
* Abortion: Fully pro-choice, as long as it's in, it's ok to abort.
* Gay marriage: Make it chiefly the faith's choice. If the head of the faith says "ok", then it's ok. If not, then allow civil unions. Also, I'm for atheist and agnostic marriage only under these settings, too.
* Planned parenthood: Stop funding, just a waste of money. Get everything you need there at federal clins.
* Can a business deny customers based on faith? Absolutely. A business has the right to deny any customer service on any grounds whatsoever. Same with firing it. Anything else is taking away freedoms.
* Should health insurance give free birth control? It should not be forced, nor governmentally incentivised to. If you want a deal with birth control, then take a deal that has birth control. But forcing this is just taking away freedoms and making many folk pay for things they don't really want or need.
* Taking out refers to God on money, buildings, mottos, so on? Doesn't really matter. It's a part of the culture, on one hand, how and by whom the American government was founded, but on the other hand, it offends many flibbergiblet atheists. I go with take it out in future bills/buildings, but I don't really care.
* Death punishment? Yes, only for folk who have intentionally killed more than 2 folk with undeniable evidence. And not wasting loads of money doing it "humanely" - these are inhumane folk, just shooting them in the head.
* Should suicide be legalised? Yes. What you do to yourself should only be controlled by yourself.
* Should businesses be required to have women as managers? Absolutely not. The business can choose for itself, and if you don't like it, go start your own, where no men are hired.
* Women at war? Yes, women should be allowed to be on the frontlines as long as they pass the same tests that men have done to be there. What is this frain, even? Neo-sexism?
* Should states be allowed to fly the Confederate American flag? No. They are allowed to fly the state flag, or the government flag. Anything else doesn't represent what it is, not the Confederacy, but the state/country it is in.

Environment:
* Should government force environmental regulations? No, just regularly give money to businesses that are investing in long-time solutions like Sun and wind power.
* National parks? Should be kept as long as they are making profit. If not, allow more public access and/or more logging/mining.
* GMOs? Should be kept, but required to be labeled on foods.
* Hydraulic fracturing? Should be allowed, but not done by the government.
* Offshore petrol digging? Government-owned landed should be allowed to be leased to petrol businesses to dig upon for petrol.

Economy:
* Welfare? Rid it. Too many poor folk who just leech other folks' tax money and use it to buy drugs (since they're addicted). Now, if a person collapses out of hunger, then they can be taken to the clin.
* Minimum wage? Rid it. If you want to work for 0.25 $ each hour, works for me. You're still making over poverty line if you work 8 hours each day. And there can be more low-paying jobs than one high-paying job without minimum wage.
* Businesses should be forced to give full-time paid leave with childbirth or sick family member? Heck no. Businesses should not be forced by the government to do anything, especially money-losing ways like these. Businesses are going to be more reluctant about hiring pregnant women or folk with sick family members like that, and it's even harder for them to get by, then.
* Make cuts to public spending to lower national debt? Yes, definitely, along with other spendings (like military forces).
* Flat, progressive, or exponential income taxes? Progressive. There seems to be a very big misconception, here. Progressive taxes does not mean 50% taxes on the 5% richest. It means, for example, 10% taxes on everyone. The amount you pay gets "progressivesly" bigger: if you make 15,000 $, you give 1,500 $. If you make 150,000 $, you give 15,000 $. Also, government fines should be based on a percentage of income, like they do with driver tickets in Finland (something like 1% your income, which can be loads). I do not support anti-capitalist exponential taxes, which seek to make it harder to get richer, and are anti-business, as well as flat taxes, as they're going to disproportionately hurt the poor.
* Get rid of all taxes except ones for legal misdeeds (drugs (including alcohol), petrol, guns) and a small income tax? Yes. Also, nationalise those industries selling those misdeeds.
* Work unions? I'm for them, but they should have no legal or government backing. Just organised boycotts of being hired to businesses, that's all they should really be doing, and any more power to them is anticapitalist.
* Funding farmers? Heck no. Corporate farms are the future, and using everyone's money to fund some unsustainable randomly profitting job is not smart.
* Pension plans? Should be phased out from being governmental, and phased in to being corporate and by choice.
* Trans-Pacific Partnership? It's wonderful. Biggens the size of the capitalist arena, more competition. I love it, from what I've read of it.
* Bitcoin as legal currency? Nah, bitcoin is kind of shifty. It's not owned by any government, it's not even printed, it's real value is shifty, too (solving maths problems?). Just keep the USD, unless it gets popular elsewhere.

Home policy:
* Gun control: Legalise all kinds of guns and weapons, except for Bulk Wreck Weapons. Just tax them heavily. And of course, run whatever checks possible, no guns to violent crimers, and insanities.
* Time limits for congressmen? Yeah, let's not go mad here. 2 years should be fine.
* Should those hurt from gun violence be allowed to sue gun dealers? Yes, but gun dealers should not be guilty unless they sold to someone who was unchchecked.
* Should Apple unlock their telephones? Heck no.
* Legalise all drugs? Yes and free those in gaol for it, but nationalise the selling of them to heavily tax them; do not allow private selling of them.
* Should corporations and unions be allowed to donate to politic campaigns? Yes. It's going to happen one way or another, so might as well do it the way that gives the most freedom.
* Abolish the NSA, FBI, and CIA.
* Should internet sellers be allowed to speed up access to popular websites at the cost of slowing down access to less popular access? Yes, absolutely, it's their right and freedom as a business. If you don't like it, go to another internet seller, and they will lose your money.
* Affirmative action? Throw it out the window. Unfree, racist policy.
* Patriot Act? Throw it out the window. Don't need a police theode.
* Gerrymandering? No, each congressional district should be drawn by a proportion of how much each politic group got of the popular vote. So if a 500 member commission of mostly Democrats and Republicans, but also a few Libertarians and Greens should choose on this.
* Should government be able to take private land for public use? No, unless it is 100% by choice of the owners of the private land, or in an unlikely extreme case of national emergency (say the September 11 attacks happened again, re-purposing someone's nearby home as a makeshift clin since all the other ones are filled up would be ok).

Healthcare:
* Have it be 100% funded by taxes, and only for life-threatening situations would it do anything. In non life-threatening settings, a government loan can be gotten, like banks give, except with lower interest rates.
* Vaccinations mandatory? No, but fund public advertisments about the (hardly any) risks, misconceptions and goods involved, and also have vaccinations for spreadable illnesses be mandatory only if going to a public school (private school can choose for itself what its vaccination requirements, if any, are).

Foreign policy:
* Syrian refugees: America should accept as many as it can take - no limits, like in Germany. The goal of a government is to help folk. Stop.
* Should terrorist suspects still be shielded by human rights? Absolutely. It's one thing to "suspect" someone who thinks the government is bad is a terrorist, but to kill or torture them without try?
* Military spending? Lower it.
* Conscription? Heck no. I'm not for forcing folk to go to their deaths, that is very antigeneven.
* Middle East? Stop supporting all of these awful countries, just get out of their, and sanction most of them - Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Arabia, Iran, SAR, IT, IR.
* UN? Yeah, doesn't really matter if it stays in the UN or not, still nothing will get done. But when something is done, I think it's better that America be part of the answering team, and stop some genocides.
* Mexico? Get out of there, too, it's just greatening the overall violence.
* Drones? Fine to use only in war, but shouldn't be at war, anyway.
* Foreign help spending? Nah, cut it all, just fully open borders instead.
* Cuba? I support free trade, not curbed by government so yes, good that embargo on Cuba has been lifted.
* Choson? Build some good anti-missile defence nets in China, America, and Hanguk, otherwise, let Choson alone.
* Russia? Keep the sanctions (assuming America is doing less warring than them, tsh)
* Guantánamo: Rid it, though really, all Black Sites should be rid, too. Would be for Guantánamo would it not be doing something Cuba is telling America specifically not to.

Teaching:
* Student loans? Should not be coming from the government, otherwise I'm for. What I am for is basically accepting the top 10% (at maximum, but really, how ever much is affordable) scoring folk in the country and letting them choose go to federal higher schools for free.
* Schools should be by choice. A child who doesn't want to learn won't, so why waste money on them?
* Schools should get much more good teachers. A 5:1 ratio ought be good, noone can be forgotten about.
* Specific classes in schools should of course, be by choice, too.
* Grow funding for schools generally.
* Standardisation? Absolutely, what one learns in Bumblefaff, America should be applicable in Bumbefaff, Niger.

Immigration:
* Should noncitizens have access to free healthcare? Yes, since it would only give them emergency healthcare. They should be given loans, too, as long as it's forecast that it will likely be paid back.
* Muslims? Yes, should be allowed to come in.
* Grow border security? No, open borders to everyone.
* Should noncitizens be allowed to learn at federal schools? Yes, as long as they pay taxes and meet the same requirements as everyone else to go for free, or they pay the federal school enough money to keep a low student-teacher ratio, with good teachers.
* Required to learn English? No, but government documents should be written only in English, and part of citizenship should be to learn English (with exceptions for mad folk).
* Should noncitizens' children born on American land be given citizenship? Yes. Citizenship is a pretty outdated concept anyway, and most good stuff given to citizens only would be given to everyone; citizenship would mostly be just a title, maybe a tad less taxes to citizens, too. That's it.
* Working visas? Throw these anticapitalist things out the window. Anyone can work.

Miscellanous:
* Photo ID required to vote? Yes. I know that it stops poor folk from voting, and the only real grounds Republicans support it is since that's what it does, gets them more of the Republican demographic vote, but to stop vote rigging, I'll take it.
* Should alone cells be used for minor crimers and teenagers? It should only be based on the crime, and their behaviour in gaol, so not for minor crimers, but for teenagers, maybe.
* Space travel? I'm with Trump, abolish NASA. Private businesses can do that stuff if they want, but governments should not waste that money on it.

Hmm, maybe this was too long to read. TLDR version:

Sociality:
* Pro-choice.
* For civil unions of any two folk who want to unionise, also for marriage as long as the faith's clergy allows it.
* Rid Planned Parenthood, just replace with good sex teaching in schools, and shops that sell contraceptions, federally approved and not.
* Keep the death penalty, but only for crimes involving killing 2 or more folk with undeniable evidence, and no "humane" killing - just shoot them with a gun. What are you going to care, you're going to die in a few seconds anyway.
* Use a progressive tax, not a superprogressive or flat tax. What this means: Everyone gets to pay 5%, doesn't matter how rich or poor you are.

Environment:
* Fund alternative renewable energy projects (not alternative nonrenewable energy, like nuclear power).
* National parks? If making a profit, keep it as is. If not, allow more public access or using of the land (mining/logging).
* GMOs are fine with me, as long as they are labeled.

Economy:
* Abolish welfare.
* Abolish any mandates of who employers can hire (requiring women to be on board of directors, affirmative action).
* Abolish minimum wage.

Home policy:
* Involve a non-violent crime and psychologic check, and invoke a license system, but allow all weapons except Bulk Wrecking Weapons to be bought.
* Time limits for MPs: Yes, 4 years should be fine.
* Drugs? Legalise all them, and free anyone in gaol for them.

Healthcare:
* Build a system funded by taxes for drug reknacking sites and for healthcare in life-threatening settings. For non life-threatening settings, a low-interest (maybe 1%) governmental loan can be sent. To those who owe money to the government after the deadline, they will be barred from drugs, alcohol, and guns buying, and their hirer will have to pay 50% what you make to the government, and the interest rate will be raised to 10%.
* Vaccinations for contagious illnesses should be mandatory (and taxpaid).

Most importantly, Foreign/immigration:
* America should open borders to any immigrants.
* Under no circumstances should anyone have human rights violated: torture is absolutely not.
* Lower military spending.
* No military draft.
* Get out of the Middle East and put sanctions on every country there (assuming America is innocent now): Iran, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Arabia, IR, SAR, Mashriq, Base. Noone is a good little country there.
*Abolish NSA, FBI, and CIA.

Teaching:
* Found a system where the 5% or so (less if it's not able to be afforded; more if it is able to be afforded, but at maximum, 10% or so) best doing students get to federal higher school, taxpaid.
* For national and international standardisation of teaching.

Miscellaneous:
* Photo ID should be required to vote.
* Solitary confinement should be based only on crime done and behaviour at gaol.
* Abolish NASA.

Most of this I like, except the bit about limiting gun selling abilities to the government. Unless Tsar X is willing to buy foreign guns in bulk for gun-wanters, there will be a black market that will create crime where it's not needed.

Is this a new type of thread trend?

Based on this alone I would probably vote for you. To be honest I skimmed. Only disagreed on TPP (because it doesn't address currency manipulation or international trade violation), abortion, immigration, death penalty, and healthcare. They may have been a few other ones.

there will be a black market that will create crime where it's not needed.

But anyone with a gun with them can be asked to show a license, and if they do not have one, then their gun will be taken away.

Maybe gun dealerships should be privatised, though.

This is mostly ok, but I completely disagree with most of your foreign policy/immigration points, which matter most. So, you will never have my vote.

Yes, I don't think the government should be using money to buy weapons to meet a demand. Of course you should sell surplus old weapons (plenty of those laying around).

Martian for president 2016! Ya'll can't Halt the Mart!

#X2016

This is mostly ok, but I completely disagree with most of your foreign policy/immigration points, which matter most. So, you will never have my vote.

Economic war works far better than military war. I mean, I can't understand for-war folk. This was was started by bombing folk, helping rebels, and now you want to answer this by bombing folk and helping rebels?

About immigration, well, the point of a government is to help folk, that's it. Who cares about if it's economically good or bad? It helps. And with more competition, mm, that's good, too (it is economically good).

Antigeneven things obviously should not be done, I can't imagine any argument for them.

Abolishing NSA, FBI, CIA, well, these are getting information on you. On other folk. It's the foundation to build a police theode. If you speak out against the government, your internet seller might be cut. If you speak out more, maybe you'll be put in gaol, and if you speak out even more, you'll be killed. I hate that system.

Only disagreed on TPP (because it doesn't address currency manipulation or international trade violation)

You know, I may not have read on the TPP enough, but seems to me like an economic free-trade zone with several countries about the Quiet Ocean. Sounds good to me.

death penalty

You are for ridding death penalty?

healthcare

How would you like it, just for folk to die? Or maybe you want bigger healthcare.

If you wanted to make a reform policy of your own you should have done it before i did

It's not reform, it's remaking.

TL:DR

I read the first 3 stars, and

"* Can a business deny customers based on faith? Absolutely. A business has the right to deny any customer service on any grounds whatsoever. Same with firing it. Anything else is taking away freedoms."

Is very poorly worded. I mean You are saying a business can turn someone away based on anything?! (Hint; think skin color... etc. ) I choose to believe that your intentions were well, but this (and after a quick scan, add other points too) are just not based around what ca actully be taken as the legal and real world consequences.

Is very poorly worded. I mean You are saying a business can turn someone away based on anything?! (Hint; think skin color... etc. )

Yes, there's no illegalising racism. Furthermore, it shouldn't be illegalised. It's stupid, but there's no grounds to illegalise it. And they lose money, when they turn folk away. It's not a good economic policy. Folk will boycott it, and capitalism will, as said, "run the course". Same with firing and work unions (or as work unions should be, they're OP as is).

"Death punishment? Yes, only for folk who have intentionally killed more than 2 folk with undeniable evidence. And not wasting loads of money doing it "humanely" - these are inhumane folk, just shooting them in the head."

ANother logical failure here; so the ones carrying out the execution can only do so once? For the 2nd time they too are subject to DP. What about self-defence? DP for them too? And veterans etc?

who have intentionally illegally killed*

You are for ridding death penalty?

Yes. I'm a hindu. The code of non-violence is the highest ethical code one can follow. I believe foremost in the sanctity of all life. Of the unborn child. Of the murderer. And of the small insect. There's no need to kill criminals when you can lock them up for the rest of their life, which in my opinion is worse than death. Freedom and free will is the essence of man's liberty and prison denies that fundamental right. What can be worse than that?

How would you like it, just for folk to die? Or maybe you want bigger healthcare.

Medicare and Medicaid are illegal. Get the government out of taking care of the sick and near-death. I don't trust the government not to push for euthanasia and "assisted" suicide. Privatize most of it. Get rid of the artificial state lines that prevent competition and don't force healthy young people to buy health insurance to subsidize the elderly.

Жұқтыру, what I am saying is that what you mean, is not what you wrote in your 1st post.

For example your write that "* Syrian refugees: America should accept as many as it can take - no limits, like in Germany. The goal of a government is to help folk. Stop."

But before it sounds like you are against a gov. helping its own citizens?

"* Welfare? Rid it. Too many poor folk who just leech other folks' tax money and use it to buy drugs (since they're addicted). Now, if a person collapses out of hunger, then they can be taken to the clin."
^even assuming you are right about the drug use thing, you write too many poor, implying that you recognize that welfare is helping some folks.

I know it is somewhat picky, considering the wall of text, but the wording is extremely important.
