Some of my political thinking

Some of you may be a little confused with my political thinking.  Here are some points I think I believe:

1.  I believe it is important for a people to assure its elderly a dignified quality of life.  Does that mean a life of luxury?  No.  It means a simple life free of worry.  It means individuals should bear first responsibility, immediate families should bear next responsibility, churches should be next and government should only be used when all else fails.

2.  I believe it is important for a people to assure a dignified quality of life to bona-fide disabled people.  Again through the same process as above.   Disability should be qualified through teams including teams made up of personal medical, clergy, and psychological attendants, and not through disability "professionals" or through any particular governmental agency.

3.  I believe it is necessary that each man provide for his family's needs.  If he is unable he is to seek help through the same means as above, and seek training through those same means until he can provide for his family's needs.  Families should learn to live more simply.  Families without a husband/father should be provided support without need for mother to work.  See #4 below. 

4.  I believe it is necessary that women be home with the children to teach them to honor, and respect society and how to become a good citizen.  Mothers should teach the children to pray and to be ready for school.  Families should be the primary educational institution for children, but should utilize schools to assist them.  Families should not depend on pre-schools for the training of their children.

5.  I believe it is necessary for adults to become politically active in selecting good, honest, upright, level-headed people to lead and not permit "good talkers" to pervade political thought.   Good, honest, upright, level-headed people should be encouraged to run for political office if for no other reason than to keep the other kind out of office.

6.  I believe government must live within its means.  I believe taxes should be no more than 10% of GNP.   I believe that every adult that lives in our nation, regardless of income, should participate in paying its bills.  In that way each person takes ownership in our nation.

7.  I believe elected office should be limited to two terms.  More time causes more corruption.

8.  I believe a return to our political roots is imperative if our nation is to survive. 

9.  I believe the founding documents should be our guiding documents now.
