I think I am going to try to reform the Whig Party. I am neither a Republican, nor a Democrat,No I am a Whig!

I am a WHIG!
Now if only I could Get enough party members to get someone to run for President, and Congress.

As a Whig, the first thing I will do, is put the government out of work, except for the Military.

 Armed Forces will be well paid, and cared for, have the best of everything. The next thing, no one in government gets money...there will be only enough taxes collected to pay for the defense of the nation, and for payment on the National Debt.

 If you run for office, you will be expected to pay your own way. It is an honor to serve your country.
All Americans pay taxes, at a flat rate...and only deductions will be for widows, and solders, and their dependents, and those in service to the country, and those who are destitute, or deformed, and can not work.

I have concluded that we Need to resurrect Andrew Jackson to run as President again. He murdered the rich, and powerful in Washington when he was there before...and that is exactly what we need now.I am a Whig .


Andrew Jackson was the first "Democrat", and ran on a policy to destroy the "Second US Bank",he said that it was set up so that the rich could get richer, on the backs of working Americans...He was opposed to the beginning of "Industrialization",because it was putting craftsmen, like cobblers out of work.

 No need for a cobbler, when you could employ a child for nearly nothing, and teach them to make only one part of the several steps that it takes to make a shoe... (Sounds like today does it not?) Except that today, this is the practice in the "Undeveloped world", our goods are being made by slave labor else where, and brought here to be sold at high prices... The method is the same, and we the people still lose.
To Quote a Veteran, a friend, and in my opinion, a Great American:
"The only most favored trading nation should be ourselves...as now we cannot even trade, state to state.  "
In the America of the Whigs; big business, must produce their goods here, if they want to sell here.
The  companies that export their goods here will pay will pay 200% in Tarriffs. if one American job was lost.
Exemptions will be made to those foreign companies that come set up shop here, and employ the greatest workforce that the world has ever known.

If you are from another country, and want to come here, you have the right to do so, however you must obey the same laws as Americans must obey. Failure to do so, results ,in punishment in prison or worse.

It was the Whigs that led our 13 colonies to fight for freedom from repression, it was the Whigs that gave to the nation so bravely, it was the Whigs that forged the framework of freedom, and it was the Whigs that demanded that government get off the backs of the people. They said that it was the people that called the shots, and that it was the role of the government to jump to the will of the people.

Yes in the time of the Whigs, it was the will of the people that dictated what direction the Nation would go. We have strayed so far away from that that today we stand to lose the free nation that the great Americans from out past fought and died for. We need to put our government back into our hands, and if it happens it will be with our votes.

Forget the two party system that we have now, both sides are controlled by the power brokers of the world's Corporate and Special Interests.

Politicians do not give a damn about us...the only thing that we have that they can not get any other place is our vote! That one is all sewed up if both Parties are bought and sold, so we need another one to represent "We the People"! I AM A WHIG!

SO VOTE WHIG, or Vote Libertarian...which is pretty much the same. The Government off the backs of the people, and out of our pockets...It is that Vote that makes the difference.
