Ok, the lack of demand that I do so makes it clear to me I should seek public office. Which one, I have no idea. I’m not well-suited for any of them.
My platform likely will offend many; so be it. At 73, I don’t need approbation to be convinced of my own convictions.
The Platform:
1 – Elimination of the Internal Revenue Service and thus, the federal income tax.
2 – Elimination of the Oklahoma personal income tax.
3 – Removal of the federal government from the operation and/or oversight of public schools.
4 – Elimination of civil forfeiture, which allows law enforcement to seize assets without charging anyone with a crime, without a conviction and with flimsy “evidence” the goods (cash, etc) are the fruits of crime.
5 – Defeat of any attempt by the taxers to tax e-cigarettes, Big Sister not withstanding. (Next, they’ll want to tax oxygen.)
6 – A prohibition that anyone with the same last name as a previous president can also be elected president.
7. An absolute ban on state agencies using tax dollars to hire lobbyists to lobby for more tax dollars.
8. Give the Auditor & Inspector authority to hire 100 new forensic accountants; with all these tax cuts I want, we’ll need many watchful eyes.
9. Fix the damn Capitol building and quit screwing around with it. It is a disgrace. (Been on the lower floors with a clear nose lately?) Do you have any idea how many folks are sick and tired of the mess? Let’s move on. I know it’s not easy; find a way.
10. Finish the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum or tear it down. Do you have any idea how many folks are sick and tired of the mess? Let’s move on. I know it’s not easy; find a way.
11. Make it a felony for any physician to ask you or your children if there are firearms in your house. (For most of us, the answer is HELL YES. So what?)
12. Send Obamacare hiking.
The planks in this platform make it clear that I am totally unsuited for governance in the second place and couldn’t win an election in the first place.
