My Vision For America

[Vuk]

You would be the perfect tyrant to rebel against.

lol, I am not talking about forcing it. I am saying hypothetically, if the people and government would accept your vision. I know you could never realistically achieve all of that (at once at least), but ideally that is what I think would be best for America.

That's a lot of text for a rather bad idea IMO.

1. No subsidies but some classes are subsidized?

2. Get out of most conflicts but increase all things military?

3. Collect less taxes but increase military spending?

4. Everybody spends a month per year in military exercises? Does that help the economy? Or would you completely cancel all sorts of holidays/free time in turn?

5. Make childrens' lives horrible? What is that going to help with, exactly? Can you explain how making them miserable and angry would stop them from "crime" or sabotaging the system?

6. For someone who wants to increase freedoms in terms of gun laws and letting states decide more, you take quite a lot of freedoms away when it comes to school and military service.

7. What if due to all the difficult mandatory courses at school a lot of people fail school, can't graduate and are lost to the economy when they could otherwise become specialists in a certain field if they weren't forced to take all the other complicated courses?

1. When talking about getting rid of subsidies I was talking about industry, not education. Maybe I should have made that more clear.

2. No, not increase all things military. I never even said that I would increase military spending. (which I would ) Our military should not be in existence to bully small countries across the world Husar. It should be in existence for one reason: to defend the US and her people. That requires that it is the strongest military in the world. Ideally we would have a military much stronger than we do now and never have to use it. Of course we would never have to use it because of how strong it is.

3. I never said collect less taxes (though you almost definitely would be collecting less taxes on the Federal level); I said change the tax code. The Federal government would be drastically reduced, and thus you would need to raise less revenue (even with increases in military spending).

4. Does it help the economy? No, it does not, nor is it designed to. It is designed to make Wisconsin more defensible than most countries in the world. It is designed to increase the safety of all Wisconsinites. As an American citizen, I believe that it is your duty to be as fit as possible for military service.

5. I never said making their lives horrible. Believe it or not, what I described is not too unlike my own childhood. :P My dad was a Marine who had us shooting at the age of 5 and had us do military like fitness regimes up till he died. Also, I was home-schooled and held to very high standards compared to public education. (I completed calculus before I graduated high-school at the age of 17, and tested into 300 level math at my Uni) I was also a very slow learner (esp compared to my brothers and sisters), and despite fairly rigorous academic standards, constant physical labour, and my dad's insistence that everyone in the family meet Marine Corps marksmanship standards, I had a lot of free time and a lot of fun as a kid. It keeps you tired though, and it keeps you busy. It doesn't mean that you won't have free time and won't have fun, but it teaches you responsibility and keeps you from getting bored.
It would make kids be able to lead much more successful, rewarding lives.

6. The reforms concerning school and military service that I mentioned were all at a State level. Things like that SHOULD be up to the States to decide. (and if someone doesn't like it, they can move to Cali or Mass )

7. 99% of people could graduate school. You will change requirements for the mentally impaired of course. If parents want their kids to get a basic high-school diploma, then they will make sure that the kids apply themselves. Just like with the current system, if someone doesn't care enough, they will flunk out. The truth is that when you raise the standards, people raise the amount of effort they put into things. No one is gonna want their kids to be a high-school dropout. Simply having a high-school diploma from WI would get these kids into almost any out-of-state Uni, so you would be doing them a big favor. The Truth is Husar that kids now-adays are a bunch of lazy blighters. You need to work them hard and make them apply themselves. Kids need to take responsibility, and they need to learn that at a young age.
