Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) UNITED LIBERTY PARTY PLATFORM Principles and Goals TAXES: Higher taxes on large corporations. Upper, middle, and lower class workers will have generally low taxes. ECONOMY: Mixed economy with limited government involvement to ensure economic stability. RELIGION: The right to freely exercise one’s faith is guaranteed by law. Religious practices may be restricted if they pose a threat to public safety. GAY MARRIAGE: Support gay marriage IMMIGRATION: Support allowing immigrants legally into the country after being screened. Persons who are found to be illegal residents will face charges of illegal immigration and will attend hearings where a proper punishment will be settled upon. Deportation is an option for certain cases. EDUCATION: No tuition for primary public educational facilities. Low tuition for state-subsidized universities. Will have government sponsored loan programs with minimal interest. HEALTHCARE: Universal health care. All members of the society will receive health care, no matter their social and economic status. ENERGY: Support clean energy sources, and hope to have at least 75% of the grid powered by clean energy sources, including nuclear and solar energy. Will regulate fossil energy sources. Funding will also be put into experimental energy sources, such as wind, tidal, geothermal, and fusion plants. ENVIRONMENT: Find it important to protect the environment and to leave as little of a carbon footprint as possible. Excessive air pollution caused by companies will result in fines. GUNS: Support the right to own a firearm. Want sufficient background checks to ensure that criminals do not purchase firearms. DEFENSE: Believe in reducing military spending in order to fund other government programs. The money saved from reducing military spending could be used to issue grants to educational facilities, modernize police utilities, and reduce the taxes caused by universal health care. DEATH PENALTY: Against the death penalty in all circumstances. The United Liberty Party finds that the death penalty is immoral and sometimes results in the wrongful execution of an innocent citizen. PROTESTS: Support a citizen’s right to assemble, as long as it does not cause an issue of public safety or disrupt the rights of other citizens. Laws All citizens will be brought to a court of law and tried upon breaking a law, less heinous crimes will result in a fine that must be paid within a week of issuance. Citizens may have an attorney present during questioning and/or their trial. An attorney will be provided if the defendant cannot afford one.

Posted November 22, 2017 How does one value a "Free Market" economy without any "Government interference" by taxing wealthier corporations within Identity Island? The P.R.P. agrees with the policy while acknowledging your contradiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We do not plan on restricting corporations with many regulations, we plan on having the government as a buffer to protect against economic ruin. There cannot be a complete free market, when we said that we wanted to tax large corporations, we specifically meant near monopolies. It is important that a government penalize monopolies that restrict competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thus, it would not be a 'Free Market Economy" within a system that consists of taxation considering that the government has already interfered with the economy through taxation, causing the market to be "unfree" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excuse my misuse of the term. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
