I have made the choice not to align myself with a political party for the simple reason that both of the top two have a platform that I find absurd.
The Republicans, on the one hand, can’t seem to keep their nose out of social issues that are, IMHO, quite outside of the scope of the business of the federal government.
The Democrats, OTOH, have an annoying tenancy towards wanting to garnish my wages and spend the money on programs that, IMHO, are quite outside the scope of the business of the federal government.
The Libertarians have the right idea, but still being a fledgling party, they seem to be prone to having wackos of multiple stripes hijack their platform thus making them either ineffective or come across as loonies.
Bottom line for me, the best way to address our economic woes is to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, untie the hands of the smaller mom and pop grass roots business by ceasing to regulate and tax them into oblivion, and let good old private enterprise do it’s job.
If any of y’all can tell me which viable political party supports that, sign me up!
