I know most of the lefts agenda is not spoken in front of the camera. I am wondering if the same may be true for the right. Or, maybe these are just my opinions.
We should do away with public schools, social security, government unions, we should pull out of the United Nations and kick their headquarters out of the country. We should abolish the IRS and go to a sales tax only. We should be removing more laws from the books than we are adding. We should do away with hate crimes and hate speech.
These are just off the top of my head. I don’t bring these topics up very often because of the looks I get from people but I do believe they should all be in the republican platform.
Wondering how many would agree? I seem to see these topics more of a between the lines sort of thing but I think they should be out front and center.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.There's a problem with today's politics that makes those issues hard to discuss. They are easy to disparage in short sound bites but, the benefits are hard to explain in short sound bites. I'm in favor of all of them. We would be a freer people if they were implemented.
I'm hoping that long form discussion programs like the ones produced by some of the IDW become more the norm than short news shows. That would provide a better forum to fully flesh out these concepts.

Keep public schools but exclude them from the Federal level. Same thing for healthcare. Social Security needs to be phased into a personal account system. Keep the IRS but simplify.
I both like and hate that the "right" is not unified except that we want better for this country (contrast with "shut down government over the wall to win political points" ).

Sounds more libertarian than republican. I agree the Federal government should shut down all those things you mentioned.

I agree with much of the libertarian side. It just seems to me the general public thinks of them as anarchists that just want legal weed and no police. I know better but the general public would take mucho amounts of education to bring them up to speed.
@Truckln Anarchists are the intellectual ideologues of libertarianism. There are the single issue libertarians who want weed legalized or prostitution but I wouldn't say they are libertarians. There are also anarchists that communists and want the whole cycle that iends in anarchy to run the course. A libertarian has to understand that government isn't just a pain in the butt. Politicians actually needs to be very vigilantly watched and their numbers kept to a minimum. I could be considered a minarchist libertarian knowing that we need as little government as we can possibly stand. some have called it the night watchman state. I doubt anarchy would prove to be anything more than someone's Utopian pipedream.
