Ah the old vs the young idea.
From my personal experiance, being 23, many of my friends being slightly younger, I think you can throw the liberal young people idea's right out the window.
I'll give my age group serious credit when it comes to knowing what is really going on, much more so than the people who have already decided that they are the member of a "party".
Many of us do not vote, unlike me, simply because we are gonna get hosed no matter what. It's quite obvious our age bracket 18-24 is heavily discriminated against, and quite frankly, I find it offensive.
I do not have a party, and I do not think that any one should be able to run under the guise of a "party". I think the unions should keep their no good asses out of the election process, and I think that people should decide who they are going to back based on what that person says and thinks.
ANYBODY who votes based solely on a cantidates party, ie. republican, democrat, green, independant, grass roots, etc. is a moron when it comes to politics.
My views on what is wrong with this country are pretty straightforward.
[list=1][*] People need to quit messing in other people's business/lives.[*] Partisan BS has resulted in the constant fillabuster like action of our legislation.[*] The IRS is nothing more than an institution designed to promote good relations between polititions and the contributors to their campaigns. It's completely outlived it's usefulness and should be shut down in favor of a far less complicated, fairer service.[*] Our legal system needs to be completely overhauled with nearly every law needing to be looked at and evaluated by our peers.[*] Our defense and technological funding is far lower than what it should be. People who do not understand the trickle down effects of new ideas/inventions from these area's into our everyday lives are unworthy of voting.[*] Religion is begining to creep far to deeply into state affairs, a further examination on how to cut church from the state needs to be completed to avoid religious based arguments and wars from affecting our government.[*]The voting system needs to be overhauled, internet voting should be instated for greater accuracy and efficientcy.[/list=a]
Those are just a few items that I'd like to see addressed, of which, none will. Mostly because there a ton of morons who do not see where our government is going... Socialist.
