The DIP Party

I'm creating a new political party. The Domestic Infrastructure Party, aka, the DIP.

We focus on intelligent spending, making things at home and improving our lot at home. Transportation and Safety - building and fixing new and existing roads, bridges, rails and buildings -, Education - committing to the best public schools in the world and sustainably subsidizing private school tuition in challenged areas - Economic Development (and anti-monopolistic/polypolistic regulation on big business) and Healthcare.

We are committed to technology and making things at home, bringing jobs back to America, exporting more than importing and ensuring all citizens have affordable health care that doesn't drive up insurance premiums for the general public yet ensures healthcare for all and protects those w/pre-existing conditions and debilitating illness and injury.

We aim to increase GDP and decrease national debt before we become victims to China and other nations that hold much of our debt. We are cautiously proactive rather than reactive and we seek to lead w/positivity and confidence in light of and despite current economic and political circumstances.

We are pro-America, on the cutting edge of international business, socially progressive, and increaslingly isolationist, though looking abroad and studying/implementing international programs and policies that will benefit our lot and invest in a golden future at home.

We are not the Tea Party, nor do we wish to increase taxes for the general public, rather lower them where and when possible and redirect current spending away from international policing and other wasteful spending.

We support a progressive tax system that drastically reduces federal income tax for the majority of workers, allowing nearly all Americans to retain up to 90% of their earnings, though requiring a higher percentage from those earning more than half a million per year, even more from those earning over 5 million per year, and slightly more from those earning more than 25 million annually, capped at 30% taxation, though giving a 5% tax break for all those earning over 500K who donate at least 3% of their income to a legitimate non-profit organization of their choosing.

Finally, we'd rather not incarcerate 5 times more people per capita than competing nations and we'd rather not spend more on miltary/defense than the next highest 26 countries combined, 25 of which are our allies.

We want to spend smartly, we want to re-emerge as a global leader in the 21st century and we want to have a good time. We want to be skinny, and we want to DIP.

Please repost if you support the above stated DIP values and goals.
